CFC 1 defend National Cup title in five-set thriller, SKW 2 take the B category
The 2026 African Marketing Fistball National Cup was decided on Saturday 7 November at the SFC grounds, with two finals that went right down to the wire. In the A category, CFC 1 successfully defended their title, beating hosts SFC 1 3:2 in a final that went set for set. The deciding fifth set was settled 12:10, with both teams fighting for every point. The win adds the National Cup to CFC 1’s A League title from last month, completing a strong double for the season. SKW 1 and CFC 2 shared third place.
The B category final finished 2:0 for SKW 2 against SFC 2, meaning the hosts had a team in both finals. The score doesn’t tell the whole story, as both sets were decided by the narrowest of margins. SKW 2 take over the title from last year’s winners SKW 3, who finished in a shared fifth place. SFC 3 and CFC 3 shared third place in the category.
