Nigeria’s D’Tigress Reveal Final Squad for FIBA Women’s AfroBasket 2025 in Côte d’Ivoire
The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has officially released the final 12-player roster for the upcoming FIBA Women’s AfroBasket 2025, scheduled to hold in Côte d’Ivoire. This announcement sets the stage for what promises to be another exciting chapter in the journey of Nigeria’s women’s national basketball team, D’Tigress.
Under the guidance of head coach Rena Wakama, the reigning African champions are aiming to defend their title and extend their impressive dominance on the continental stage.
The roster is a well-crafted mix of veteran leadership and promising new talent. Among the key returning stars are Promise Amukamara, Ezinne Kalu, Elizabeth Balogun, and Amy Okonkwo—players who have played pivotal roles in past D’Tigress triumphs.
Veterans like Nicole Enabosi, Victoria Macaulay, and Sarah Ogoke also return to provide experience and stability, while the inclusion of fresh talents such as Pallas Kunayi, Ifunaya Okoro, and Blessing Ejiofor signals a forward-looking strategy that prioritizes growth and future development.
With eyes firmly set on reclaiming the trophy, D’Tigress are ready to take on the continent once again, driven by a shared hunger to retain their crown and elevate Nigerian women’s basketball to even greater heights.
