D’Tigers qualify for 2025 Afrobasket as Group B teams sail through
Nigeria has joined the three other countries in Group B of the 2025 Afrobasket qualifiers, Cape Verde, Libya, and Uganda, in qualifying for this year’s final championship slated for Angola even before yesterday’s final round of games in Libya. Nigeria won two games and lost three to garner seven points, same with Uganda, which was adjudged good enough to see the D’Tigers through even if they lost yesterday’s final game against Cape Verde. Yesterday’s final qualification games in Libya were just to fulfill the fixtures as all four sides from Group B will be in Angola. D’Tigers defeated Libya in their opening game and also beat Uganda to atone for the three losses they recorded in the first qualifying window, but former champions, Morocco and Central African Republic (CAR) were not that lucky as they failed to make the grade in groups A and D respectively. Among the teams that will be in Angola are the hosts (Angola), Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia, Cote d’Ivoire, and Nigeria. Also, in the race are Rwanda, South Sudan, Uganda, Madagascar, Mali, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cape Verde, and Libya. The Afrobasket championship will be held in Luanda, Angola, from August 12 to 25, 2025.
