Renewed Hope Global has heartily congratulated Nigeria’s national women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, on their spectacular 78–64 victory over Mali in the final of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Championship held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
With this phenomenal win, D’Tigress secured their fifth consecutive AfroBasket title, solidifying their place as seven-time champions and the most decorated women’s basketball team in Africa’s history. The victory also guarantees Nigeria a spot in the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup qualifiers, marking another giant stride for the nation in global sports.
Ambassador J.K. Adebola, Chairman of Renewed Hope Global, described the victory as “Mission V Accomplished,” symbolising more than athletic dominance; it reflects the renewed spirit and rising confidence of a nation under visionary leadership.
“D’Tigress have once again reminded the world that Nigerian excellence knows no bounds. Mission V is not just a sports achievement; it is a powerful reflection of what we can accomplish with vision, discipline, and unity. This is Renewed Hope in motion,” Adebola declared.
He also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his support for sports development, describing it as a significant catalyst for the team’s consistency and excellence.
“Thanks to President Tinubu’s clear investment in youth and sports through the Renewed Hope Agenda, Nigerian athletics is rising to new heights. This is a victory not just for the players, but for every Nigerian at home and in the Diaspora who believes in the power of national resurgence.”
Adebola reaffirmed Renewed Hope Global’s commitment to telling Nigeria’s success stories, inspiring the Diaspora community, and connecting citizens worldwide to a shared vision of progress, unity, and national pride.
