Poggibonsi (Siena), May 25, 2025 – The Coppa Toscana final ends 53 to 49. The under 17 Poggibonsi Basket defeats Use Empoli and wins the title Champion of Tuscany. An intense match, in which the athletes led by coach Gandolfi never hinted at wanting to let the very strong opponents from Empoli escape. The match took place at the PalaVivaldi, with a good attendance of spectators, including numerous fans from Poggibonsi.

Coach Gandolfi 's comment: "Our girls were incredible. The Empoli bomb that took us to overtime At that moment could have made us collapse mentally and the tiredness could have broken our legs, but this group has shown all year that it never gives up and does not surrender in the face of difficulties. They are winners, and this for me, without rhetoric, is worth more than any victory. This is their greatest merit. The field decrees who wins and who loses, we can only decide how to participate: as winners or losers. They have deserved this journey, with commitment, effort and dedication."

The comment of the president Nicola Pucci: "I am really happy that our Poggibonsi has raised this trophy. The girls deserve it, the staff deserves it and this company deserves it because it has always believed in this project. Tonight I was really emotional. I saw a team fight against an opponent that on paper was much stronger. I saw a staff masterfully lead these girls to victory and finally I saw an entire "family", that of Poggibonsi Basket, drag this team from the stands with their cheering and warmth to victory. Today more than ever I am proud to be president of this company".
