ABIDJAN (Cote d'Ivoire) - Nigeria overcame a resilient Mali on the last day of the 2025 Women's AfroBasket to become the first team to win the tournament five times in a row.
The 78-64 victory was one of Nigeria's toughest of the tournament.
With this win, Nigeria extended their winning streak to 29-0, dating back to the third-place game of the 2015 tournament in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
As was the case for most of their initial games in the tournament, Nigeria got off to a slow start.
However, feeling threatened by Mali's intensity, Rena Wakama's team regrouped in the second quarter and headed to the locker room tied at 41–41.
