Nigeria’s D’Tigress have set a new African record by becoming the first team in the continent to win five consecutive Afrobasket titles.

D’Tigress beat Mali 78–64 in the final of the 2025 FIBA Women’s Afrobasket played on Sunday at the Palais des Sports de Treichville, Côte d’Ivoire.

Although Mali outscored Nigeria 26-21 in the first quarter, D’Tigress responded strongly in the second, reeling off 12 unanswered points to seize the lead.

Amy Okonkwo and Ezinne Kalu led the charge for D’Tigress with 11 points apiece, while Sika Koné was Mali’s top performer with 11 points, the only Malian player in double figures at halftime.

This latest achievement is a testament to D’Tigress’ consistency, tactical brilliance, and evolving legacy both on the continent and globally.
