The Nigerian women’s basketball team, popularly known as D’Tigress, added another golden chapter to their story on Sunday after securing the FIBA Women’s Afrobasket title for the fifth time in a row.
The tightly-contested final took place at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, where D’Tigress triumphed over a determined Malian side.
This victory is more than just a win — it marks a historic milestone, as Nigeria becomes the first nation on the continent to win the Women’s Afrobasket championship five times consecutively.
Guided by coach Rena Wakama, the team displayed tactical brilliance, teamwork, and unshakable determination.
The latest accomplishment not only reinforces Nigeria’s dominance in African women’s basketball but also paves the way for increased global recognition.
