The team, along with other members of the contingent, landed at the Private Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja shortly after 2pm on Monday, proudly holding the Afrobasket trophy.

Nigeria’s D’Tigress clinched their fifth consecutive FIBA Women’s AfroBasket championship title on Sunday, defeating Mali 78–64 at the Palais des Sports Treichville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.

This victory not only extends their unbeaten streak to an impressive 29 games on the continent—dating back to their last loss in 2015—but also solidifies their status as the leading force in African women’s basketball.

The final showcased a remarkable display of resilience and determination. After falling behind 21–26 in the first quarter, the Nigerian team mounted a formidable comeback, demonstrating their tactical prowess with scores of 20–15, 20–15, and 17–8 in the subsequent quarters, ultimately securing their fifth consecutive title and seventh Afrobasket trophy overall.
