Nigeria’s women national basketball team, D’Tigress, have been presented with the opportunity to make a back-to-back outing at the Olympic Games with the draws released by FIBA yesterday, a stakeholder, Sabinus Ikewuaku, has said.Nigeria’s women national basketball team, D’Tigress, have been presented with the opportunity to make a back-to-back outing at the Olympic Games with the draws released by FIBA yesterday, a stakeholder, Sabinus Ikewuaku, has said.
“We defeated Senegal in the final of the last FIBA Afrobasket to win the championship, even with little preparation. So, if the team gets adequate preparation and are psychological ready, they can repeat the feat in Brussels. Belgium will have the home support, but in the past, D’Tigress have won great games despite fans’ support for their opponents. So, I don’t see that being a serious hindrance.
China, the world number two side who lost last year’s World Cup final to the US, will host its qualifier in a city to be confirmed. Olympic silver medalists Japan, the world number nine side, and an Americas qualifier complete the group alongside the host nation.
