The Nigerian men’s national basketball team recently announced their withdrawal from the upcoming AfroBasket qualifiers window citing insufficient funds.
This was made known via a post on its X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday
The post read, “Despite several 2020 Olympians committing, D’Tigers will forfeit this AfroBasket Qualifiers window due to lack of funds from government.”
The Afro basket qualifiers are scheduled to begin on Friday, February 22, 2024, in Tunisia.
This unfortunate development deals a major blow to Nigeria’s efforts to return to AfroBasket and rebuild the struggling national basketball program.
