D’Tigers will be aiming to extend their impressive run at the ongoing FIBA Afrobasket 2025 when they face defending champions Tunisia in their second Group B clash at the Pavilhão Multiusos de Luanda, Angola, Bold Sports reports.
Nigeria opened their campaign in style, cruising to a 77-59 victory over Madagascar, while Cameroon stunned defending champions Tunisia with an emphatic 86–65 win in their opener.
Tunisia, back-to-back Afrobasket winners and champions in three of the last five editions, will be desperate to bounce back and keep their hopes of a historic three-peat alive. But Nigeria will be determined to ensure that doesn’t happen.
A win for D’Tigers will seal their place in the quarterfinals, while a loss would leave them fighting for second place or hoping to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, a scenario they will be eager to avoid.
