Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, will face Mozambique and Rwanda in Group D of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket following Wednesday’s official draw ceremony held in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The 12 participating teams were split into four groups of three, with tournament hosts Côte d'Ivoire drawn into Group A alongside Angola and Egypt. Group B features continental powerhouse Mali, Cameroon, and South Sudan, while 2023 finalists Senegal headline Group C with Uganda and Guinea.

Reigning champions D’Tigress, who are chasing a record-extending seventh AfroBasket title, will be looking to bounce back from a quarter-final exit at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

According to the tournament format, group winners will secure direct spots in the quarter-finals, while the second- and third-placed teams in each group will battle in a qualification round to determine the remaining spots in the last eight.

The 2025 Women’s AfroBasket is scheduled to tip off from July 26 to August 3 at the iconic Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan.
