Nigeria’s history-making D’Tigress will face reigning champions USA in the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics women’s basketball competition on Wednesday, following Sunday’s draw. The Nigerians are the first African nation ever to reach the last eight of an Olympic basketball tournament, for both men and women.

The matchup against the Americans, who have won the last seven titles, will be a challenging one. Nigeria secured their spot by defeating Canada 79-70 on Sunday, while the USA triumphed over Germany 87-68, with standout performances from Jackie Young, who scored 19 points, and A’ja Wilson, who added 14 points.

In other quarter-final matchups, host nation France, bronze medallists at the Tokyo Games, will play Germany, while Spain will take on Belgium. The first match of the day on Wednesday will see Serbia facing off against Australia.

The knockout stages of both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will be held in Paris, following group play near the northern city of Lille.
