Guy read well.

What type of qualifications be this?? That's too much. We are Africa's best and we need no more qualifiers except they don't want any African representative. By the time u include almighty USA and Japan in a pre-qualifier how do u expect us to qualify.

That rule is a complete Bullish*t!!!

How can an Olympic tournament not have a continental representative

Congrats to our girls but we were wasteful at free throws which gave the Senegalese confidence to level up with us and even led until our coach called to timeout.
The coach has a lot to do with the girls so many things to correct if we are to make impact on the world stage.
Congrats again to the girls

The arena is a 15,000 capacity arena and FIBA reported that it was full/tickets were sold out.

FIBA is basketball's world governing body (kind of like the FIFA of basketball).

This victory does not automatically qualify Nigeria for the Olympics. The top 6 teams from Afrobasket 2019 will play an African qualifying tournament and the top 2 teams from that tournament will play a world qualifying tournament in order to qualify for the Olympics.

The draws for the African qualifying tournament were held on Saturday.

You were actually correct. This is from FIBA (basketball's world governing body).

The final was the only competitive game we played in the championship. We played in a stadiumfilled with Sebegal's fans too.


It is nice how we have gotten better and that should show at the Olympics
Exactly, it was the true test of their character and ability

I'm still trying to figure out what changed. Nigerians used to flock to sports events in the 1970s-early 1990s. What changed?

Japan should not feature on this statement, Nigeria was rated 8th in the last world cup. We are a powerhouse in world basketball, according to the coach more ladies are willing to play.

It doesn't matter bro, what if the two African teams gets knocked out in the pre-qualifiers, that means Africa won't have a representative.

I don't know about the the other one but Nigeria will qualify.

FIBA changed a lot of things at the international scene so there'll be lots more basketball action at that level, for me it's a good thing. It will make the game more popular.

say what you know sir
We will fill a 60,000 capacity stadium if Nigeria is playing a football match at home. Nigeria 2009 U17 world cup comes to mind. All the stadiums were filled up during Nigerian Matches.
But I don't know about basketball, cos only few people follow the national basketball teams , unlike football

Lol!!!

Incidentally, I live in Kaduna which is one of the hosting cities! The stadium are filled because it is FREE!!! It is either the gate is open or some organisation or the other paid the fee and asked for the gate to be opened! In fact, I got tickets to matches that I have out because of how rowdy the exits are after matches
