Ferro grind past Obras to complete Liga Femenina three-peat

Ferro Carril Oeste are Argentine women's basketball champions for the third time running, edging Obras Basket 75-69 in a tense Game 3 to clinch the 2026 Liga Femenina title and cement a dynasty that began with the Apertura 2024 and continued through La Liga Femenina 2025.
No star turns. No one-woman show. Just championship basketball from a team that knows how to win ugly.
While Obras leaned heavily on the extraordinary Florencia Chagas (180-PG-2001) who poured in 30 points in a virtuoso individual performance Ferro won with collective balance. Four players carried the scoring load: Abril Romagnoli (167-G-2003) (14), Lucila Sampietro (176-F-2003, college: Otero JC) (14), Josefina Rivera (177-C-1998) (12), and a fourth contributor with 11, ensuring Obras could not key on any single threat. When one option was taken away, another stepped up.
The game was a war from tip to finish. Neither side could establish separation through the first half, with the lead changing hands constantly in a physical, tightly contested contest. Obras built their offense around ball circulation and collective play, while Ferro relied on structural discipline and timely execution.
The second half intensified further. Obras' Chagas and Candela Gentinetta (181-SF-2001) kept the home side within striking distance with individual brilliance, but Ferro managed the crucial possessions with the composure of a team that had been here before twice. The Caballito side chose their shots wisely, punished in transition when opportunities arose, and executed down the stretch when the margin between champion and runner-up came down to a handful of possessions.
The six-point final margin was the closest this series got to reflecting how evenly matched the two best teams in Argentine women's basketball truly are. But in the end, Ferro's championship DNA built across three consecutive title-winning campaigns proved the difference.
