Nigeria Basketball Women’s U-18 team delivered a commanding performance on Friday, overwhelming Liberia with a 90-9 victory in their FIBA U-18 AfroBasket Zone 3 qualification match.

The Young D’Tigress, showing exceptional skill and coordination, will look to maintain their momentum as they prepare to face Côte d’Ivoire in their next encounter.

The tournament sees Nigeria, Liberia, and hosts Côte d’Ivoire competing for the sole qualification spot to the 2024 FIBA U-18 Women’s AfroBasket, scheduled for later this month in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Côte d’Ivoire is hoping that the home advantage will propel them past their competitors, while Nigeria is determined to mark their return to the competition after a 14-year absence.
