The Singapore Vandas successfully defended their 2024 title, their fifth time winning the tournament.

At the Kai Tak Arena on Saturday, they came out on top against a Hong Kong side with home-field advantage with a score of 57-33.

The Vandas went into the final with a strong record in the tournament, beating the Maldives, Sri Lanka, host Hong Kong, and India and only dropping a game to Malaysia.
