D’Tigress will continue their United States tour today as they face the Minnesota Lynx in a friendly match scheduled for 7:00pm Nigerian time at the T-Mobile Arena in Missouri, United States.
The encounter marks another major test for the African champions, who are making history as the first African national team to play against WNBA sides in exhibition games.
D’Tigress are coming off a 89–63 defeat to the Los Angeles Sparks in their opening game of the tour and will be looking to bounce back with a stronger performance against Minnesota Lynx.
Despite the setback, the Nigerian side continues to earn praise for breaking new ground in global women’s basketball and gaining valuable experience against top-level opposition.
The team’s ongoing US tour is seen as part of their preparation for future international competitions, while also strengthening the profile of African women’s basketball on the global stage.
