Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, have stormed into the semi-finals of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket after delivering a commanding 67-50 victory over Cameroon.
In the quarter-final showdown held in Kigali, Rwanda, D’Tigress displayed dominant form, asserting their position as African basketball giants. This marks their fifth straight appearance in the semi-finals — a milestone that underlines Nigeria’s rising legacy in women’s sports.
The defending champions wasted no time in asserting control, ending the first quarter with a narrow 18-14 lead. By halftime, they widened the gap to 37-25, showcasing precise teamwork, aggressive defense, and slick offensive moves.
Cameroon, despite their effort and home-continent support, could not match the Nigerians’ energy, depth, and tactical edge.
With this win, D’Tigress are one game away from reaching yet another final — and potentially lifting a fourth consecutive AfroBasket title, a feat that would etch their names deeper into African sports history.
