Nigeria's D'Tigers 12 final roster for 2025 Afrobasket Qualifiers
The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) unveiled the final 12-man squad for the 2025 FIBA AfroBasket Qualifiers, which will be held in Tripoli, Libya, from February 21–23, 2025.
A solid blend of seasoned players and up-and-coming talent make up the group to help Nigeria qualify.
The players, coaches, and staff left their separate locations on February 17 and arrived in Tripoli for the mini-tournament.
As they complete their preparations for the upcoming important games, the team will have their first practice in the north African country.
The D'Tigers, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed, must win two of the three games at the very least and hope Uganda blows its chances.
Cape Verde is now on six points, and will undoubtedly make it to the finals the next year.
Nigeria is focused and determined going into this qualifying round, hoping to establish a solid foundation for their run to the 2025 AfroBasket.
