African champions, D’Tigress, will on Thursday open their campaign against DR Congo in the Africa pre-Olympic qualifiers at the Pavilhao do Mazaquene in Maputo.
The head coach of senior women national team, Otis Hughley, has also assured that the team is fully focused on the task ahead.
After masterminding the team to the 2019 Afrobasket title that has seen the D’Tigress climb to the number one spot in Africa according to the latest FIBA ranking, Hughley said qualification for the 2020 Olympics Qualifying Tournament is not negotiable.
Speaking from the team’s base in Maputo, Hughley confirmed that preparation is going on as planned with all invited players ready to give their best when they start their pre-qualifiers campaign.
He said: “We are aware of the task ahead of us. The culture of basketball is fast growing in Nigeria and the people are expecting us to win every time we file out. These expectations have continued to spur us to want to give our all and represent the country the best that we can.
“We must continue to show the world that we deserved to be the best in Africa and also become one of the best in the world.”
According to Hughley, the team, ranked 16th in the world, can get better and climb higher while achieving greater things as a group.
The Nigerian side will also face host Mozambique on November 16.
