Showtyme Angels are set for the Grand Finals of the WESIE Female Basketball League after an impressive and hard-fought campaign through the South West Playoffs.
The team comes into the finals on the back of strong form, having dominated the Ibadan Basketball Championship 2026 just weeks ago. That momentum carried into the WESIE South West Playoffs, where they faced some of the region’s toughest sides.
Their campaign began with a 43–32 victory over Dodan Amazons of Lagos, a result that marked a turnaround from their earlier meeting during the South West Qualifiers in Lagos.
They then faced a tough test against Dolphins of Lagos, the reigning NBBF Female League champions, falling 32–49 in a challenging encounter.
However, the defining moment of their run came against defending WESIE champions, Victoria Queens of Lagos. In a competitive clash at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, Showtyme Angels delivered a composed performance to secure a 51–44 victory, overturning the result from their earlier meeting at the qualifying stage.
Entering the South West Final Four as underdogs, the team’s resilience and determination have been central to their journey, earning them a place in the Grand Finals.
With confidence high and momentum on their side, Showtyme Angels now turn their focus to the Grand Finale, where they will look to complete a remarkable run.
The team has also acknowledged the support of fans, friends, and families who have stood by them throughout the competition.
