The second half of the N1 basketball regular season will pause this Saturday, 15 April, to make way for the Ivory Coast Cup. The courts at the Palais des Sports in Treichville, Abidjan, will host the semi-finals of the competition. In the women's draw, FBA take on ABC. The current leaders of the regular-season table are naturally favourites in this clash against the Fighters, who sit 3rd.
Elsewhere, SOA face CSAT. The Militaires will need to be wary of opponents capable of the very best and the very worst. SOA are dreaming of reaching the final in both the women's and men's competitions. To do that, the Army's men's team must get past ASA. The Sondja, solid runners-up behind JCA in the table, will have to live up to that standing. In the other men's semi-final, JCA will look to impose their game on AZUR.
