D’Tigress Crash Out of World Cup After Heavy France Defeat

Nigeria’s D’Tigress have crashed out of the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup after suffering a heavy 111-56 defeat to France in their final group match in Berlin, Germany. The loss was Nigeria’s third straight defeat after earlier setbacks against South Korea and Hungary, leaving the African champions at the bottom of their group. The result ends Nigeria’s third appearance at the competition without a win, falling short of the quarter-final finish achieved in 2018, despite the team’s recent success of winning a fifth consecutive continental title and reaching an Olympic quarter-final for the first time.
