Quarterfinals
The quarterfinals were on Friday, starting with a battle of teams from countries that are familiar with one another in the basketball context, meaning that there were a number of ties between players on both sides.

Aliyah Matharu and Ville de Dakar also advanced as an undefeated team, getting the 68-48 win over Kayana Traylor and REG. Italee Lucas and APR had the lead at halftime, but had to rally again in the fourth quarter for a 79-76 win over KPA. Hosts Al Ahly had the top seed, but did not really flex their muscle until the second half, getting a 98-55 win over CNSS.
