Nigeria’s D’Tigers, after an undefeated 3–0 run in the group stage, are preparing for a crucial AfroBasket 2025 quarterfinal against Senegal in Luanda, Angola.
Nigeria dominated Group B with wins over Madagascar, Tunisia, and Cameroon, and aims to continue their strong performance. Senegal, a five-time champion, advanced with a 2–1 group record and defeated South Sudan in the playoffs.
Led by standout Brancou Badio, Senegal remains a tough opponent. The matchup is also motivated by Nigeria’s recent women’s team victory over Senegal in AfroBasket and the presence of experienced player Stan Okoye, with players inspired by President Tinubu’s support for successful athletes.
