Nigeria's women's basketball team has made history becoming the first African side (men or women) to qualify through to the Quarterfinal of the Olympics.

D'Tigress, three-time Women’s Afrobasket Champions who are making their third appearance at the Olympics after Athens 2004 and Tokyo2020, dug deep to beat Canada ranked 5th, 79-70.

The Coach Rena Wakama-side lost to hosts France (54-75) in the second game of the tournament after a shocking victory against Australia (75-62) in the opening game. The African team came into the tournament as the lowest-placed side (12th) but kudos to defensive dexterity has beaten the World's No 3 & No 5.

First ever African team (Men or Women) to ever play in #Olympics Quarter-Finals:

It's Nigeria! πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬

D'Tigress will wait to know their next opponent

Majority of the players if not all are based abroad where the system works.
You see the reason we need Nigeria to work.
