Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, concluded their three-game exhibition series against China with a 88-77 victory in Foshan on Wednesday. The win marked the end of the series, which saw Nigeria lose the first two matches 70-67 and 69-65. The final game took place in Foshan, a city in Guangdong province, and was attended by players and officials from both teams.
The exhibition series, part of ongoing sports exchanges between Nigeria and China, aimed to strengthen basketball ties and provide competitive experience for athletes. The Nigerian team showed resilience in the final, overcoming a strong Chinese squad. The event highlighted the growing collaboration between the two nations in sports, particularly in women’s basketball.
China has been increasingly involved in African sports initiatives, supporting events and training programs. The “Sing for Africa” talent show, backed by China, also recently launched in Kenya, showcasing cultural and artistic exchanges. These efforts reflect broader diplomatic and cultural engagement between China and African nations.
