FIBA Throws D’Tigress Out Of 2022 World Cup After FG’s Withdrawal

The world governing body for basketball, FIBA, has replaced Nigeria’s female basketball team, the D’Tigress, with Mali for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 in Belgrade.

Nigeria was disqualified after President Muhammadu Buhari suspended the country from participating in all international basketball competitions and activities for a period of two years.

The President’s withdrawal is said to be aimed at revamping the sports from the grassroots in Nigeria.

“FIBA was informed about the decision of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to withdraw the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) from all international basketball competitions and activities for a period of two years,” a statement from FIBA said.

“In subsequent communications with the NBBF, and despite FIBA’s request, it has become clear that against the circumstances created by the government’s decision, the NBBF is unable to confirm its participation in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022.

“Given the multiple strict deadlines that cannot be postponed in order to ensure the successful staging of a major international event (visa procedures, schedules, ticket sales, accommodations, friendly games, preliminary rosters, flight tickets, accreditations, etc.) and to protect the integrity of the competition, the FIBA Executive Committee has decided as follows:

“Nigeria’s withdrawal from the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 is confirmed. Mali, as the next ranked team from Group B of the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade, is invited to participate in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022.

“FIBA will announce whether there will be any other decisions related to the NBBF’s participation in other FIBA competitions and any potential disciplinary measures in due course.”

FG banned them from playing international games

So FIBA had no choice but to throw them out and replace them with Mali....

Its a shame what sports is suffering under this man

He contributed to the super eagles fall in football and now

All the hard work this ladies has put in the qualify Nigeria has been wasted.
What stops him from calling the waring factions to a round table to resolve issues. OK if FIBA has sent people to monitor the election and recognized someone why not flow with that


Must you have your way....and kill the destinies of the!is girls... Shame... Shame

Hopeless people managing sports in Nigeria.

The FTC wanted to go the political correct way but it's what it is.

Hopefully Nigerians will throw out APC and any Buhari

Buhari's Fulani government will
discourage or spoil anything that

Abeg d tigress matter nor concern us, now how peter Obi go take win presidency. Like for Obi, share for Tinubu

I feel the pains of those players that fought for the qualification. Working so hard to achieve nothing in the end is really painful. Not because you were defeated in the field of play but because some other people fail to behave well.


Meanwhile See how you can multiply your Ugu seedlings from one seed.

This is what happens when you have dunderheads in charge of the affairs of an organization.

I can bet that in 2years time there'll be no change.We are complete jokes in Nigeria.

Those in charge of our sports administration are very mad and myopic.
As in what's the meaning of all these nonsense. The players just labored in vain.
They should sue the government.

I am heart broken

It is now very obvious that this Nation is cursed because anytime something good wants to happen to this Nation, it backfires to something worst. For example, when Yaradua became the president of this Nation, death took him away from us now we are stuck with this clone

We were all happy that d'tigress are becoming a force to reckon all over the world, now this..

Sincerely from my heart, if I tell una say Naija never tire me, I they lie

They should just collapse this Nation make everybody go in own, I no do naija again

Note: I am not a Biafra and never will I be

Nigerians survive inspite of not because of their government......its a shame many a people empower these destroyers of destiny with senseless propaganda...... comes to mind

The height of irresponsibility , after all the hard work those ladies put into qualifying? Nigeria happened to them

Sad

This is wickedness gone too far. Buhari led federal government is a dream killer. This administration will be noted for killing the dreams and aspirations of hardworking Nigerians.

Buhari has been killing the economy, yet no correction was made. Now he wants to kill sporting activities before he leaves office. We were thrown out of FIFA world cup due to unseriousness from the sport ministry. Now he voluntary, intentionally and deliberately threw our ladies out of the FIBA world cup. Yet billions of naira will still get embezzled and stolen.
Did we Nigerians offend him. Did the Ladies committed any crime. Is voting him in office as President an offence?

There are mechanisms of sabotage in every department and ministry of this country, so also people that are willing to give undaunted sacrifices to the progress of this nation. But the damages and its continuation is the way of life of many. God bless Nigeria

It is so so sad.
