As Nigeria gear up for their first game of the 2024 FIBA Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament against Senegal on Thursday (today), D’Tigress forward Lauren Ebo is confident that the team’s preparation would be enough to lead them to success, PUNCH Sports Extra reports. The FIBA Olympics qualifying tournament holds from today to February 11 in Antwerp, Belgium with 16 teams competing for 12 places at this summer’s Paris Olympics. D’Tigress qualified automatically for the FIBA Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament as winners of the 2023 Women’s Afrobasket in Rwanda. Speaking ahead of today’s game against fellow Africans Senegal, Ebo is hopeful of D’Tigress qualification for the Games. After their first game against Senegal, Rena Wakama’s women will then face the United States the following day.
