🏀 Nigeria’s D’Tigress Make History with 5th Straight AfroBasket Title, Crowned Queens of Africa Yet Again! By Achegbulu David – Avuncular Sports Desk, Abidjan In a breathtaking showdown at the 2025 Women’s AfroBasketball Championship held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria’s D’Tigress have once again proven why they are the undisputed queens of African basketball. With a clinical 78–64 win over Mali in the grand finale, the Nigerian ladies have clinched their seventh AfroBasket title overall — and remarkably, their fifth consecutive crown (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and now 2025). From the jump ball to the final buzzer, the D’Tigress were relentless, resilient, and razor-sharp — showcasing the very essence of championship pedigree. 🏆 Road to Glory: Crushing Contenders This wasn’t just a victory; it was a coronation after a campaign that saw Nigeria eliminate the top-ranked teams in Africa in stunning fashion. • In the quarterfinals, the D’Tigress blew past the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon, ranked 5th in Africa, with a dominant 83–47 win, winning all four quarters with emphatic energy and ruthless execution. • The semifinal against Senegal was a thrilling rollercoaster. After leading 43–37 at halftime, Nigeria stumbled in the third quarter but came roaring back in the fourth to defeat the 3rd-ranked Teranga Lionesses 75–68 in a dramatic finish, sending a loud message to the rest of the continent: the queens are not done reigning. • In the final showdown, Mali, Africa’s second-ranked team, put up a fierce fight. By the end of the second quarter, the scoreboard read 41–41, a deadlock that had fans holding their breath. But that was as far as Mali would go. The D’Tigress turned up the heat in the second half, outpacing and outclassing their opponents, finishing with a 14-point lead to seal the historic 78–64 win. 👑 Amy Okonkwo: Tournament MVP There was no denying the brilliance of Amy Okonkwo, who was officially named the (MVP) of the tournament. Her leadership on the court, clutch plays, and explosive offense were instrumental in Nigeria’s title defense, as she anchored the team throughout the tournament with poise and power. 🎖️ Coach Rena Wakama: The Woman Behind the Machine History continues to be written by Coach Rena Wakama, who now becomes a two-time AfroBasket champion as head coach of the D’Tigress. After guiding the team to glory in Kigali 2023 and a historic quarterfinal appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics (a 1st for any African basketball team), Coach Wakama has solidified her legacy as one of the most respected figures in African women’s sports. Her ability to inspire, adapt, and command the court has become a defining feature of this golden era of D’Tigress dominance. 🌍 Global Stage Awaits: Nigeria Qualifies for the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup With this victory, Nigeria has automatically qualified for the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, continuing their place among the world’s elite. They’ll be joined by fellow African powerhouses Mali, Senegal, and South Sudan — all of whom reached the semifinals of this year’s tournament. 2 Queens, One Nation: Falcons & D’Tigress Make 2025 a Year to Remember The timing of this achievement couldn’t be more poetic. Just weeks ago, Nigeria’s Super Falcons lifted their 10th WAFCON title in Morocco after a dramatic 3-2 comeback over host nation Morocco. And now, the D’Tigress have mirrored that glory — notching their 7th AfroBasket championship and affirming Nigeria’s dominance in African women’s sports. A Nation Awaits to Celebrate With such a monumental achievement, a hero’s welcome awaits the D’Tigress back home. Given the wave of incentives, national recognition, and endorsements showered on the Super Falcons after their WAFCON triumph, expectations are high that President Tinubu’s government, sponsors, and fans will extend the same honor and rewards to these basketball heroines. They have carried Nigeria’s name with pride, represented Africa on the global stage, and delivered unforgettable moments that will live long in the hearts of millions. 🎥 For more in-depth stories, behind-the-scenes footage, and updates on Nigerian and African sports, especially women in athletics, subscribe to our YouTube channels: 📺 Avuncular’s Production 📺 Avuncular Movies Don’t forget to turn on your notifications — greatness doesn’t wait!

We didn't play our game, we were not ourselves - D'Tigress head coach, Rena Wakama ...As host France lockdown Nigeria's D'Tigress to laminate their ticket to the quarter-finals women's basketball tournament By Maxwell Kumoye "We didn't play our game. We were not ourselves. What helped us secure the win on Monday we didn't bring today.” That is the verdict of Nigeria head coach, Rena Wakama, after D'Tigress went down to the French in their second Group B encounter on Thursday. She explained that, it was a tough battle and a tough outcome for the team that is eyeing a place in the quarter-finals. “It's tough when you let another team shoot 63 percent inside the paint. It's hard to beat anybody.” Despite the defeat, coach Rena Wakama believe that the girls will fight back on Sunday against Canada. “We need to get back to our ways." Canada are yet to win a game since the basketball tournament started. They lost to France on Monday by the same margin Nigeria lost to the hosts, 75-54. They were also beaten by Australia that crumbled under the weight of Nigeria. It finished 70-65 in favour of the Opal. The win means host France are through to the quarter finals of the women basketball tournament of the ongoing Olympic Games in Paris. They secured their passage to the last eight with a 75-54 lockdown of Nigeria. Nigeria had played with typical courage and on the front foot to almost keep pace with their opponents for much of the first-half. However, the wheels came off for D'Tigress when France suffocated their offense completely and held them to single digits in the third quarter at just 8 points. The depth of France was simply everything in this game - at least in stark contrast to Nigeria. The difference in bench scoring was enormous with the hosts racking up 37 points and their opponents only 9. Nigeria’s 54 points are their lowest in a single game at the Olympics: they have now lost three games by more than 20 points in the competition and two of those happened against France (today and in the 2020 edition (87-62).
