Nigeria’s D’Tigress have solidified their dominance in women’s basketball by clinching the 2025 Women’s AfroBasket title on August 3, 2025, at the Palais des Sports Treichville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, marking their fifth consecutive championship and seventh overall. The 78-64 victory over Mali extends their continental unbeaten streak to 29 games since 2015, a feat unmatched in AfroBasket history, and follows previous triumphs in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023. Under Coach Rena Wakama, the first woman to win two AfroBasket titles, the team’s latest success, driven by Ezinne Kalu’s stellar play and support from Amy Okonkwo and Victoria Macaulay, cements their legacy as Africa’s most successful women’s basketball team, securing a spot in the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.
