Nigeria’s D’Tigress secured a hard-fought victory over Senegal to advance to the 2025 Women’s AfroBasket final, winning 75–68 in a fiercely contested semi-final on Saturday.
The match, played at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, lived up to its billing as the “final before the final.”
Senegal held an 8-point lead heading into the 4th quarter, but Coach Rena Wakama’s squad mounted a spirited comeback. The reigning champions showed their championship pedigree by closing out the game with a 7-point margin, eliminating the 2023 silver medalists.
