EDY TAVARES MAKES HISTORY: CHAMPION AND FIRST-EVER EUROLEAGUE SUPER CUP MVP

A HISTORIC START TO THE SEASON

Tavares made his impact throughout the tournament.

In the semifinal against Dubai Basketball, the Cabo Verdean center recorded 20 points and a 22 performance index rating, helping Real Madrid secure a 98–95 overtime victory.

In the championship game against Olympiacos, Tavares finished with 6 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal, contributing on both ends of the floor as Madrid secured the inaugural trophy.

His performances across the two games earned him the tournament's MVP award.

FROM MAIO TO THE TOP OF EUROPE

Born in Maio, Cabo Verde, Tavares has built a remarkable international career. The 2.20-meter center has represented Real Madrid since 2017 and has established himself as one of the most recognizable Cabo Verdean players in international basketball.

This latest achievement adds another chapter to a career that already includes EuroLeague championships, domestic titles and individual awards with Real Madrid.

For Scoutz, Tavares' journey represents more than another trophy.

It is a reminder of what can happen when talent, development, opportunity and perseverance meet on the global stage.

From Cabo Verde to the world.
