The Club Baloncesto Getafe men's first team has concluded its Segunda FEB season in ninth position, missing out on the promotion playoffs after a defeat in the final matchday.

The Getafe squad, which was close to playoff qualification for much of the season, needed a victory in their final game against Ciudad Molina Basket to overtake CB Zaragoza for eighth place. However, the team ultimately lost 75-67, placing them ninth in the standings.
Despite not reaching the promotion phase, the team's first season in Segunda FEB has been deemed remarkable. The initial objective was to secure permanence in the category, a goal achieved with flying colors, demonstrating the capability of a newcomer team in the competition.
In the decisive match against Ciudad Molina Basket, the team struggled to find its rhythm, trailing 34-28 at halftime. Although they rallied in the third quarter (17-21), the final stretch of the game saw the home team more effective in crucial moments, securing their victory.
One of the main challenges for CB Getafe was their offensive reliance on a single player, who scored 25 points, while no other teammate came close to double digits. Additionally, 19 turnovers proved to be a decisive factor that undermined their chances of winning.

"It is time to value the growth of the group, the work of the coaching staff, and the commitment shown throughout the season. CB Getafe has demonstrated that it can compete in the category and lays the groundwork for continued evolution in the future."
