2025 Afrobasket championship: D'Tigress set to play 3 Nation-Friendly tourney in Abuja 

Posted : 28 April 2025

Ahead of the 2025 Afrobasket Championship, scheduled to be held in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, from July 26 to August 3, 2025, the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) is leaving no stone unturned to ensure Africa's leading national female basketball team, D'Tigress, has another successful championship as they aim for a record-extending fifth consecutive Afrobasket title.


Speaking about the team upon his return from the draws held in Abidjan, the Vice-President of the NBBF, Babs Ogunade, revealed plans by the NBBF to organize a training camp for the team in Abuja before the championship.


He also disclosed that the NBBF plans to host a three-nation tournament featuring Nigeria and two other undisclosed national teams.


"The NBBF wants to ensure that the girls are well-prepared ahead of the championship," Ogunade said.


"We want to present the girls to their teeming fans and the Nigerian public, and give them the opportunity to showcase their skills in a friendly three-nation tournament. This will also put the team in a good position ahead of the championship," Ogunade added.


"We're also appealing for the early release of funds to ensure adequate and timely preparations, as well as early camping both within and outside Nigeria where there are good facilities."


"The best of our players, both in and outside the country, are eager to represent the nation and would be delighted to wear the national colors," the renowned basketball administrator noted.
