As part of preparations for the 2025 FIBA Women’s Afrobasket Championship in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has released the 20-player preliminary squad for the senior women’s national team, D’Tigress.

According to the federation’s Media Coordinator, Akeem Busari, the team has officially commenced preparations to defend their continental title.

Busari announced that the squad will hold a structured training camp in Abuja this July, which will include homecoming exhibition games aimed at celebrating past successes while providing the technical crew an opportunity to assess player performance.

“These exhibition matches will celebrate the team’s past success and help assess players as coaches work towards final squad selection,” Busari stated.

The NBBF reiterated its commitment to assembling the strongest possible team to maintain Nigeria’s dominance in African women’s basketball.

Preliminary Squad:

  • Point Guards (1): Precious Amukamara, Ezinne Kalu
  • Centre/Guard (1,2): Ifunaya Okoro
  • Shooting Guard/Forward (2,3): Elizabeth Balogun, Grace Efosa, Solape Amusan, Abiodun Yusuf
  • Forwards (3): Adenike Olayemi, Amy Okonkwo, Nicole Enabosi
  • Power Forwards (3,4): Pallas Kunayi, Murjanatu Musa, Gift Uchenna
  • Power Forward/Centre (4,5): Victoria Macaulay, Christabel Ezumah, Izoje Uche
  • Centres (5): Lauren Ebo, Ugonne Onyiah, Vera Ojenuwa, Blessing Ejiofor

D’Tigress are aiming to clinch their sixth consecutive Afrobasket title, having won the last five editions. The final squad is expected to be named ahead of the team’s departure for Abidjan later this summer.
