Less than a month before the 2023 Women’s AfroBasket competition, the Nigeria Basketball Association confirmed the appointment of coach Rena Wakama to lead Nigeria’s National Female Basketball Team, D’Tigress, to the tournament.
Ahead of the tournament, the question was can the D’Tigress who just appointed a new coach do well at the tournament and equal Senegal’s record of being the only women’s basketball team to win the AfroBasket a record four straight times?
Interestingly, it was a smooth ride for coach Rena Wakama and his girl at the tournament as they beat all the teams on their way to the final convincingly. Fortunately for them, they met Senegal in the final of the tournament and the Nigerian team used them to equal their record.
