Cosfa and Uscar are set to face off in the Top 12 final. Between the consistency of the military team and the determination of Uscar, both sides dream of claiming the Top 12 crown.
The Makis Stadium in Andohatapenaka will host the showdown between Cosfa and Uscar on September 6. Cosfa, undefeated in the group stage, enters as the favorite. Uscar, however, arrives with the hunger of a team that has long awaited its moment. With two different paths and styles, only one will emerge as the Top 12 champion after 80 minutes.
Cosfa approaches the final as the clear favorite, having gone through the regular season undefeated. Their consistency, including a narrow 30-28 victory over FT Manjakaray in the semifinals, highlights their strength. Their kicking game remains a key weapon in a match where every point counts.
However, Cosfa is not invulnerable. Their previous league encounter with Uscar, which ended 46-42, showed that they can be challenged. Uscar, having finally broken their semifinal curse by defeating CEA Andranomanalina 37-35, enters the final with immense mental resilience.
Uscar captain Anthony Razafindratsimba stated, “Reaching the final is no accident. Facing Cosfa is an honor, and we are ready to take on this challenge to win the national title.” Meanwhile, Cosfa coach Noé Mboazafy Rakotoarivelo noted, “We are ready to reclaim the throne. Victory is mandatory.” While statistics favor Cosfa, Uscar plays with the conviction that they can upset the favorites.
