The match is scheduled to tip off today at 22:00 WAT, at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan, a venue that has witnessed thrilling action throughout the tournament.
This fixture carries significant historical weight for both teams. The last time Cameroon defeated Nigeria in the Afrobasket Championship was in the 2015 semifinals, where they narrowly won 71-70. Nigeria, however, avenged that loss four years later with a dominant 106-39 victory. This quarter-final will be the first meeting between the two rivals since that 2019 encounter.
Nigeria enters the match as the favorite, but the history between these two nations promises a fierce and captivating contest as the Lionesses look to challenge the reigning champions.
