MUNICH (Germany) - Athinaikos Qualco and CIMSA CBK Mersin both advanced to the 2025-26 EuroCup Women Finals after coming through their last four encounters, on Wednesday.
Greek side Athinaikos - who lifted the title back in 2010 - ended the reign of last year's champions Villeneuve d'Ascq LM with a 139-134 victory on aggregate.
It was a 13-point home win in the first leg that gave Athinaikos the advantage, and they were able to survive a 78-70 defeat on the road to advance.
The other Semi-Final encounter saw Mersin advance to another Final, having twice been EuroLeague Women runners-up in the last five years, as they overcame the challenge of BLMA for a 156-128 success overall.
Mersin held on for a narrow two-point triumph on the road, before backing it up at home as they pulled clear for a more convincing 86-60 win in the second leg.
Athinaikos will aim to become the fifth club to win the title on multiple occasions as they could cap a memorable return to European competition having last competed in the 2010-11 season.
Meanwhile, Mersin could be the third Turkish team to be crowned EuroCup Women champions, following on from two-time winners Galatasaray, and 2017 winners Yakin Dogu Universitesi.
The first leg of the Finals is set to be played in Vyronas, Greece on Thursday, April 2, before the return fixture is held in Mersin, Türkiye on Thursday, April 9 when the 2025-26 season winners will be confirmed.
