Nigeria’s D’Tigress, the current African champions, have been assigned to Group D for the much awaited 2025 Women’s AfroBasket Championship.
The tournament will begin in Côte d’Ivoire from July 26 to August 3 and D’Tigress is grouped with Mozambique and Rwanda.
The Nigerian women’s basketball team is keen to defend their title and earn a historic seventh tournament championship victory under head coach Rena Wakama’s direction.
Expectations are high for the team to capitalize on their recent accomplishments after D’Tigress put on an incredible performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where they reached the quarter-finals.
In order to further establish their supremacy in African women’s basketball at the forthcoming AfroBasket Championship, their expertise and tenacity will be essential.
