Host Pressure, Dynasty Runs, And Debut Dreams: Women's AfroBasket 2025 Preview

(Photo by) Getty Images Today marks the beginning of Africa's largest women's basketball tournament, where twelve national teams will compete for the AfroBasket title in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. In addition to continental pride, the winner will secure a direct spot in the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. Furthermore, the top four teams will qualify for the global qualifying tournaments. Côte d'Ivoire will host the Women's AfroBasket for the first time, with all games taking place at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan. They have been drawn alongside Egypt and Angola in Group A and will begin their campaign against Egypt on July 26. Historically, Côte d'Ivoire has had the upper hand over Egypt in recent meetings; however, the closer results in recent years suggest that this opening match will test their composure in front of a home crowd eager for success. Under the leadership of new coach Stéphane Leite, Côte d'Ivoire aims to build on the flashes of promise seen in 2023. Although they managed to defeat Angola, they fell short of reaching the knockout rounds. There is optimism that the possible inclusion of former WNBA guard Kariata Diaby will strengthen their experienced core and help them secure their first-ever AfroBasket medal on home soil.

(Photo by Christina Pahnke - sampics/Getty Images) Getty Images Fresh off a landmark Olympic performance in Paris, where they became the first African basketball team to reach the Olympic quarterfinals, Nigeria is now considered the team to beat. Their historic victory over Canada was a significant milestone, even though they eventually bowed out to the USA, highlighting their growth on the global stage. Having won four consecutive AfroBasket titles since 2017, D'Tigress are now pursuing a record-extending fifth championship in a row behind the leadership of Rena Wakama who became the first female coach to win an AfroBasket in 2023 and now serves as the assistant coach for the WNBA's Chicago Sky. They will begin Group D action against Rwanda on July 26, led by veterans such as Ezinne Kalu, Amy Okonkwo, and Promise Amukamara. While Nigeria's dominance in African basketball remains unparalleled, their preparations have faced some challenges, and they are aware that their rivals are closing the gap quickly. South Sudan: A Debut Fueled by Dreams South Sudan is set to participate in its first Women's AfroBasket after being granted a wildcard entry. The Bright Starlets achieved their first international victory last year by defeating Rwanda in the Zone 5 qualifiers, highlighting their rapid progress since joining FIBA in 2013. They have been placed in Group B, alongside Mali and Cameroon. South Sudan will open the tournament against Mali on July 26, followed by a match against Cameroon the next day. For South Sudan, this debut is about more than just winning; it represents an opportunity to establish themselves among Africa's basketball nations and inspire a new generation back home. Uganda vs Senegal: Revenge or Repeat? ANTWERP, BELGIUM - FEBRUARY 8: Dillard Cierra of Senegal during a basketball game between the ...

(Photo by Isosport/) Getty Images In 2023, Uganda pulled off one of the biggest shocks in AfroBasket by defeating Senegal 85–83, establishing themselves as a threat in the tournament. The two teams will meet again in Group C on July 27, and Senegal will be eager to avoid another upset. Senegal, the most decorated team in Africa, is determined to reclaim its position at the top after losing to Nigeria in three of the last four finals. The team will heavily rely on the trio of Cierra Dillard, Yacine Diop, and Ndioma Kané. Kané led the team in scoring and rebounding during the World Cup pre-qualifiers, while Dillard and Diop contributed strong leadership and offensive power. For Uganda, another victory against Senegal would further solidify their ascent in the tournament. They are led by Jane Asinde, the MVP of their zone qualifiers, and they head into this matchup with confidence and a fearless mindset. Contenders Lurking: Angola, Mali, Egypt, Mozambique, and Cameroon Angola, champions in 2011 and 2013, are currently in a rebuilding phase under coach Paulo Macedo. Despite recent struggles, they remain a formidable team with veterans like Nadir Manuel and Cristina Matiquite. Additionally, guard Italee Lucas, who recently showcased impressive skills in qualifying, adds to their strength.

(Photo by) Getty Images Mali continues to benefit from its exceptional youth development program, having won every U16 African title since 2009 and nine U18 championships. The team is led by 23-year-old Sika Koné, who brings valuable WNBA and World Cup experience to a squad eager to add to Mali's impressive collection of eight AfroBasket medals. Egypt has not claimed AfroBasket gold since 1977 but hopes to change that this year. Key players, including Raneem El-Gedawy, Nadine Mohamed, and recent NCAA Champion, Jana El Alfy, will be vital to their campaign. Mozambique, currently ranked fourth on the continent, is still seeking its first AfroBasket title after several close calls. With Leia Dongue at the helm of an experienced team entering through a wildcard entry, they possess both the skills and determination to challenge the top teams. Cameroon, ranked sixth in Africa, aims for their first podium finish outside their home soil. Under the guidance of coach Ahmed Njoya, they have talented players like Monique Makani from the Phoenix Mercury and Dulcy Fankam, who provide depth and experience to Group B. A Tournament of Narratives The 2025 Women's AfroBasket will not only determine the champions of Africa but also shape the narrative of basketball on the continent. Will Côte d'Ivoire turn home court into a fairytale run? Can Nigeria leverage its Olympic successes to secure a historic fifth crown? Will South Sudan inspire with their debut, and can Uganda continue its tradition of giant-killing? Will Senegal reclaim its legacy, or will rising contenders like Mali, Angola, Egypt, Mozambique, and Cameroon defy expectations? Abidjan is set to witness more than just trophies being awarded; it will showcase the evolution of African women's basketball. Every layup, defensive stop, and upset will redefine what's possible for the sport across the continent.

Defending champ Kyle Larson returns to Brickyard seeking turnaround
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Larson raced to his third NASCAR Cup victory of the season at Kansas in mid-May then turned his attention to his second and perhaps final attempt at racing's double — completing all 1,100 miles of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Instead, he was hit with a double whammy. A crash on Lap 92 knocked him out of the 500, relegating him to 24th, and two crashes — the second on Lap 245 — knocked him out in Charlotte, where he finished 37th. Not much has gone right for Lason since then. He posted just one top five finish over the next eight races before finishing fourth at Dover last weekend. Now, the defending Brickyard 400 champion is back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway trying to recharge his season. 'It's great to be back here in Indy and back at the track, hopefully I'll do a much better job than I did in May,' he said Friday. 'It's a privilege to get to run here and I would love nothing more than a good run and hopefully kind of put the bow on the double stuff.' Only three drivers in race history own back-to-back Brickyard wins — Jimmie Johnson in 2008-09, Kyle Busch in 2015-16 and Kevin Harvick in 2019-20. Larson's won last year on Indy's historic 2.5-mile oval instead of the road course used the previous three years. Most if not all drivers including Larson prefer running the oval. 'There's so many people from all over the world here whether it be May or our events or, really for that matter, any events,' Justin Allgaier said. '... It's just there's nothing quite like it;' Larson understands having driven an IndyCar on the oval each of the last two Mays and now back in a Cup car, his fourth start in 14 months at the Brickyard. The difference this year: Larson wants to change directions after some sub-par results. But they haven't dashed his championship hopes. The 2021 Cup champ is tied for second in wins this season, already has accrued 23 playoff points and trails only Hendrick Motorsports teammates Chase Elliott, the 2020 Cup champ, and William Byron in points. Neither Elliott or Byron has won the 400, though. Neither has Denny Hamlin, who sits just behind Larson in points despite winning a series-best four times including last weekend at Dover. He also signed a two-year contract extension with Joe Gibbs Racing on Friday. If he can add a win Sunday to the three he's had in the Daytona 500 and Southern 500 and the one Coca-Cola 600 title, Hamlin would join the short list of drivers who have won all four Cup crown jewel races in their career. 'It certainly would mean a lot to me,' said Hamlin, who has started 16 Brickyards. 'We've come close. We were actually as close on the road course as we were on ovals although I don't know — you could argue whether that (road race) was actually a crown jewel or not. So, yeah, highly motivated.' But things already are off script for Larson, Hamlin and everyone else in Indy. Friday's scheduled practice was rained out, making the second week in a row practice was washed out. Qualifying is scheduled for Saturday when temperatures are forecast to be in the mid to upper 80s with rain in the forecast most of the afternoon. The forecast for Sunday looks almost identical to Saturday. That's not what Larson wanted to hear even though race organizers rescheduled a short practice for Saturday afternoon. 'Hopefully, our car is good again,' he said before the scheduled practice. 'I believe it should be fast, if not better than it was last year. So, you know, hopefully we'll have a good practice, good qualifying (Saturday) and execute a good race on Sunday.' Larson's goal is simple — qualify up front, stay up front and stay out of the trouble he's found far too routinely lately. 'When (Christopher Bell) spun (at Dover), I thought I was going to get collected and be like 'Uh, oh, just continuing our bad luck here,' he said. 'So, hopefully, this is the beginning of us to kind turn things around. We'll see.' ___ AP auto racing:
