Bahrain's First XV rugby team have officially been crowned champions of the 2025-26 Men's West Asia Premiership.
This has been announced by Bahrain Rugby Club after the current season, which was headed into the semi-finals with Bahrain as number one seeds, has been cut short due to the unfortunate events that are taking place in the region.
Bahrain won all 12 of their games in the preliminary round and thus secure the crown with an undefeated campaign.
They have regained the title they last won in the 2022-23 season.
