Game 7: REG W BBC 54-51 Kepler W BBC

Rwanda Energy Group (REG) women basketball club were Saturday night, September 6, crowned2025 champions of the Rwanda women basketball league after beating Kepler in a thrilling 54-51 Game 7 victory at Petit Stade.

REG stave off elimination to force Game 7 in the playoffs finals after Kepler went up 3-2 with the finals series before REG won Game 6 and Game 7 to clinch the championship.

Arguably the most dominant side in women local basketball since joining the league in 2022, Saturday’s improbable triumph marked the REG’s third league title in the last four years as they became the first team to win the championship back-to-back since APR between 2017 and 2019.
