Fenerbahce Opet captured their record-extending 14th Turkish Women's Basketball Cup title, defeating Istanbul rivals Galatasaray Çagdas Faktoring in the final at Pamukkale University Arena behind an outstanding performance from Belgian star Emma Meesseman (192-C-1993, agency: LBM Management). Meesseman was named the Most Valuable Player of the final after leading Fenerbahce with 17 points, nine rebounds and five assists — a stat line that reflected her all-around dominance on both ends of the floor. The championship trophy was presented to Fenerbahce captain Alperi Onar and MVP Meesseman by Denizli Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Bülent Nuri Çavusoglu and Turkish Basketball Federation officials. Fenerbahce set the tone from the opening tip with an aggressive defensive approach, establishing early control through the inside scoring of Meesseman and French international Iliana Rupert (194-C-2001) to build an 8-2 lead. Galatasaray responded through Teja Oblak (173-PG-1990) and Ayse Cora (175-G/F-1993, agency: 0z Sports Agency), but Fenerbahce maintained the upper hand throughout the first quarter and took a 21-16 advantage into the second period.

Elizabeth Williams led Galatasaray's efforts in the final with 15 points, five rebounds and one assist, but the WNBA veteran and her teammates were unable to bridge the gap against a Fenerbahce side that controlled the contest from start to finish.
The cup triumph adds yet another trophy to what has been an extraordinary era of dominance for Fenerbahce in Turkish women's basketball. The Istanbul giants now hold a record 14 cup titles — more than any other club in the competition's history — alongside their record 19 KBSL league championships, 14 Turkish Presidential Cups and two EuroLeague Women titles (2023, 2024). Fenerbahce had entered the cup tournament as overwhelming favourites after completing a perfect 20-0 regular season in the KBSL. Their path to the final ran through the quarterfinals and semifinals after seeded teams were paired with non-seeded opponents following the draw on December 23, 2025.

For Galatasaray, who received the runners-up award, the defeat to their city rivals represents another painful near-miss in what has been a season of finishing second to Fenerbahce both domestically and in European competition. Despite boasting significant talent including Williams, Marine Johannes (174-G-1995) and Awak Kuier (194-C-2001), the gap between Turkey's top two women's basketball clubs has remained stubbornly wide when it matters most. The cup title served as the first piece of silverware in Fenerbahce's 2025-26 domestic campaign, with head coach Miguel Mendez's star-studded squad — featuring Meesseman, Rupert, Sevgi Uzun (178-PG-1997), Gabrielle Williams, Julie Allemand (173-PG-1996, agency: LBM Management) and Kayla McBride — subsequently completing the domestic double by sweeping Galatasaray in the KBSL playoff finals.
