In Paris, D’Tigress will play their opening game against Australia on July 29, 2024, before facing the host nation France on August 1, 2024, followed by a match against Canada three days later on August 4.

“We know our team will be up against top national teams but we are hopeful they will do well. We want them to work hard and get good results for Nigeria and Africa,” Umeoji said.

“Zenith Bank is proud of D’Tigress because in close to two decades, we have been sponsoring the women’s basketball league which incidentally has produced a better percentage of the players in the national team.”

Incidentally, Head Coach of the team, Rena Wakama, is also optimistic that Nigeria will do well at the games.

“Things have been going well in the camp in the last few days, as we have had great practice sessions and the girls are in great spirits,” she told the NBBF media.

“The girls are responding well to training and getting better, every day. And that’s what matters.

“I’m confident that the girls will be able to display their talents when we get to Paris. I’m excited and looking forward to the games.”
