Aminata Sangaré named Supercopa MVP while playing for Leganés

Aminata Sangaré was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Supercopa after averaging 23.5 points and 9 rebounds per game in Torrejón de Ardoz. The Malian interior for Leganés earned the individual honor despite her team failing to win the tournament title, marking a significant professional progression since her early career with Casademont Zaragoza.

Sangaré’s Statistical Dominance in Torrejón de Ardoz

Sangaré’s MVP recognition followed a high-impact weekend where she served as the primary offensive and defensive engine for Leganés. Her tournament average of 23.5 points and 9 rebounds per game secured her the award, reflecting her efficiency in the paint and scoring versatility.

The peak of her performance occurred during the semifinals against Hozono Global Jairis. Sangaré led Leganés to a 69-50 victory, recording 29 points, 9 rebounds, and a valuation of 35 credits. This specific performance earned her the game’s MVP award from the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) and propelled Leganés into the first Supercopa final in the club’s history.

In the championship game against Valencia Basket, Sangaré remained the focal point of the Leganés attack. She contributed 18 points and 9 rebounds in 29 minutes of play, though Leganés ultimately fell to the eventual champions.

Professional Evolution from Casademont Zaragoza to Leganés

The current success of the Malian international is rooted in a developmental path that began in Zaragoza. Sangaré joined Casademont Zaragoza in the summer of 2020 at 18 years old, arriving from Baloncesto Torrelodones. The Zaragoza club recruited her based on her perceived potential, providing her first entry into professional elite basketball.

Sangaré spent two years with the Aragon-based club before her departure. Her tenure ended when Casademont announced she would not continue with the team following her decision to decline a contract renewal offer from the club.
