D’Tigress fall to Germany in FIBA World Cup Qualifier

Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, suffered an 81–73 loss to Germany women’s national basketball team in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup Qualifiers clash.

Nigeria showed resilience throughout the contest but struggled to close the gap in key moments. Germany maintained control late in the game, capitalising on scoring opportunities to secure the win.

Despite the defeat, D’Tigress put up a competitive performance, keeping the scoreline within reach and showing flashes of quality on both ends of the court.

The result adds pressure on Nigeria’s remaining fixtures as they continue their push to qualify for the World Cup, where only a limited number of teams advance from the qualifiers.
