However, such an outcome seemed highly improbable just a year ago.
-Elfic had thus won the 16 titles involved in Switzerland between the start of the 2020/21 season and the end of the 2023/24 financial year (championship, cup, League cup and supercup). The training trained by Romain Gaspoz, who certainly needed five games to beat Nyon in the Play-Off final last year, has to settle for a fifth consecutive coronation in SBL Cup in 2024/25.
Nyon female basketball rose in power throughout the season. The trophy raised in mid -March in European Women’s Basket League – certainly the third European level, where only four teams were engaged – certainly “boosted” the confidence of the team of President Carine Moura. The Nyonnaises have surfed this wave to win the fourth national title in the history of their club, after those conquered in 1973, 1979 and 1984.
