Nigeria’s senior women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, have won the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Championship after overpowering Mali in a thrilling final on Sunday night.

The victory, which marks their fifth consecutive AfroBasket title (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025), cements D’Tigress as the dominant force in African women’s basketball and makes them the first team in the tournament’s history to achieve such a feat.
