D'Tigress, 12th best team in the world, says latest power rankings

Posted : 16 July 2024

Nigeria's D'Tigress have received a positive pre-Olympics boost, securing the 12th spot in the recently released Power Rankings. This ranking carries significant weight, as it specifically assesses teams competing in the upcoming Paris Olympics. While separate from the official FIBA World Rankings, the Power Rankings offer valuable insight into a team's anticipated performance against their Olympic rivals.


This 12th place finish solidifies the D'Tigress' position as the undisputed queens of African women's basketball.  Their consistent dominance within the continent is undeniable, and this ranking confirms their status as the team to beat on the African stage. 


It's important to distinguish between the Power Rankings and the FIBA World Rankings.  The FIBA World Rankings offer a broader picture, ranking all national teams based on their overall performance throughout various competitions. The Power Rankings, however, focus specifically on the upcoming Olympic Games. By analyzing recent form, player rosters, and potential matchups, the Power Rankings aim to predict how teams will fare against each other in the Olympic environment.


While the D'Tigress have secured a respectable position, the road to the podium remains challenging. The number one spot on the Power Rankings is firmly held by the United States. The American team boasts a phenomenal track record and a roster packed with world-class talent. Dethroning the US will undoubtedly be a monumental task for the D'Tigress, but their placement in the Power Rankings demonstrates their potential to challenge the established hierarchy and make a serious run for a medal in Paris.
