The Nigerian women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, commenced their Olympic warm-up campaign with a challenging 77-63 loss to Germany in Berlin on Friday. The game, which served as a crucial preparatory fixture ahead of the Paris Olympics, highlighted areas for improvement for the African champions.

From the outset, Germany asserted dominance, securing a lead in each quarter. The match's scoring unfolded as follows: Germany took the first quarter 17-18, held onto their advantage with a 23-13 second quarter, continued with a close 13-18 third quarter, and sealed the victory with a 24-14 final quarter.

Despite the defeat, D’Tigress showcased resilience and determination throughout the game, demonstrating flashes of their trademark athleticism and teamwork. The match provided valuable insights for Head Coach Rena Wakama as they fine-tune strategies and lineup rotations ahead of the Paris Olympics.

Looking forward, D’Tigress will aim to bounce back and make adjustments in their next preparatory game against Serbia. The upcoming fixture against another European powerhouse presents another opportunity for the Nigerian squad to refine their game plan and build cohesion among players.

As Nigeria's representatives on the global stage, D’Tigress continues to garner support and encouragement from fans and supporters worldwide. The team’s journey towards Olympic glory is one fueled by determination, resilience, and a collective ambition to showcase the best of Nigerian basketball on the international stage.
