2025 Women's Afrobasket | |
The 2025 AfroBasket Women was the 29th edition of the biennial tournament organised by FIBA Africa. The championship was held in Abidjan, Ivory Coast from 26 July to 3 August 2025. [1] [2]
Nigeria were the four-time defending champions, and won the title again after a win over Mali. [3] Nigeria's win means they have broken the record for the most championship titles consecutively with five, beating the previous record of held by Senegal who had four. The players in Nigeria's team have been offered $100,000 for their achievement. [4]
South Sudan's third place finish marks the best result by a debutant since Cameroon's third place in 1983.
As a result of winning, Nigeria qualified for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, while Mali, South Sudan and Senegal qualified for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifying Tournaments as a result of placing in the top four. [5]
Ivory Coast won the hosting rights for the first time ever on 26 March 2024. [1]
Excluding the hosts and automatically qualified teams, nine teams entered regional qualification.
Games were played from August 2024 to February 2025, to determine the 12 nations who will qualify for the tournament. [6] [1]
Of the qualified teams, eleven appeared at the previous edition. Due to the lack of teams taking part, FIBA Africa awarded four wildcards rather than the usual two. [7] Those teams were Egypt, Guinea, Mozambique and South Sudan. [7] [8]
After being given a wildcard South Sudan have qualified for the first time ever. [8]
After appearing in 2023, DR Congo misses out.
Uganda will participate in their second consecutive appearance for the first time ever, while Egypt break their record for consecutive appearances with seven. Hosts Ivory Coast continue their record appearance streak to five.

The final draw took place at 20:00 GMT on 23 April 2025 at the Hôtel des Armées in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. [9] [10] [11] The final draw was hosted by television presenter, Mariam Coulibaly, and former basketball player, Malick Daho. The draw started with the teams in pot 1 being placed into their respective groups. Teams in pot 1 were then put into position 1 in each group. After that, pots 2 and 3 were drawn, with each team selected then allocated into the first available group alphabetically. The position for the teams in pots 2 and 3 within the group would then be drawn (for the purpose of the schedule). The only restriction was that only one team from Zone 5 and 6 can be in the same group. [11]
The seeding was revealed on 20 April 2025. The seeding was based off the FIBA World Rankings as of 9 February 2025. [9]
