Neuquén clubs battle for playoff spots in Argentina's Liga Federal basketball
The 2026 Liga Federal de básquet playoffs saw several Neuquén‑based clubs fighting for advancement. Pérfora secured a win over All Boys and moved to a decisive match for a place in the next round, while Pacífico fell short, losing 71‑66 to Belgrano, which advanced after a strong collective effort.
Belgrano’s victory came in an empty stadium, mirroring a similar outcome two years earlier. Centro Español was eliminated after a loss to Ferro in General Pico, and Independiente prepared to host Regatas de San Nicolás in La Caldera. In a parallel series, Almagro de Esperanza and Sportivo Escobar split their first two games, with Escobar winning the second 78‑75, forcing a third‑match decider.
Overall, the playoffs featured tightly contested series, with teams across the south‑central region of Argentina vying for spots in the later stages of the competition.
