The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has revealed its readiness to prepare and build up for the last and crucial qualifying window for the 2025 Men’s Afrobasket Championship, despite walking tight rope.
FIBA Men’s AfroBasket 2025 will be the 31st edition of Africa’s most prestigious continental men’s basketball championship.
The tournament will take place in Luanda, the Angolan capital between the 12th and 24th of August, 2025, for the fourth time after they hosted the event in 1989, 1999 and 2007.
Former AfroBasket champions and four-time continental silver medalists, Nigeria, will journey to Libya to compete in the last and final window of the 2025 FIBA Men’s AfroBasket Qualifiers.
The NBBF has started linking up with players they hope to invite and some have been formally invited to be part of D’Tigers who are expected roar and secure one of the two tickets still up for grab from Group B.
Nigeria needs to win at least two of the three games they are expected to play and hope that Uganda bottles its chances.
Cape Verde currently on six points are certain to reach the finals even with three defeats in this window.
Host Libya with five points will land in Angola with two more wins while Nigeria’s voyage to Luanda will end if Uganda picks two wins in this qualifying window.
