Heading into the clash, Sharjah needed to win by a margin of at least eight points in order to seal the title. The team rose to the challenge and delivered the required result, finishing level on 11 points with Shabab Al Ahli, but taking the title based on point difference.
This year’s final was structured as a home-and-away league-style competition. The first leg of the final took place at Shabab Al Ahli’s court, while the decisive second leg was hosted by Sharjah Club.
With this victory, Sharjah have now claimed their eighth league title, adding to their previous triumphs in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1991, 2004, and 2020. The win also marks their second major success this season, having lifted the UAE Federation Cup just last month.
The trophy was presented to the winning team by His Excellency Issa Hilal Al Hazami, Chairman of the Sharjah Sports Council, and His Excellency Major General (Rtd.) Ismail Al Gergawi, President of both the UAE and Arab Basketball Federations. Also in attendance were His Excellency Khalid Issa Al Midfa, Chairman of the Board of Sharjah Sports Club, and His Excellency Mohammed Obaid Al Hosani, Board Member and Head of Team Sports at the club.
