NBBF Boss commends triumphant D'Tigress over first victory against Australia

Posted : 30 July 2024

The President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, Ahmadu Musa Kida, has congratulated the Nigeria National Women's Basketball Team, the D'Tigress, on their 75-62 win over Australia in the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympic Games.


An elated Kida described the win as historic and inspirational, given that no Nigerian basketball team had won a match in 20 years prior to this match. He praised the resilience and determination of the D'Tigress to defeat the world's third-ranked team.


"Nigerians are happy and joyous over this victory, and it is indicative of the never-say-die attitude of the average Nigerian.


"It's also a testament to the unrelenting and concerted efforts of the board of NBBF to place the country in its pride of place in the comity of sporting nations, and basketball especially," he remarked.


He added that the team would not rest on its laurels, even as the spirited and awesome performance of the team has put them in a better position to go ahead and fight for a podium finish.


D’Tigress will next meet host France on Thursday in their second group game. The game is expected to be very tough, given that France will have tumultuous home support, but the D’Tigress are expected to prevail at the end of the match.
