FIBA 2027 World Cup African qualifiers

Overview

The fourth qualifying window for the FIBA 2027 World Cup in Qatar has concluded for African national teams. In Group F, Senegal reclaimed the top position, tied with Ivory Coast at 16 points, following a decisive 97-71 victory over Mali at the Dakar Arena. While Senegal maintains its momentum, Ivory Coast faced a setback with a 91-70 loss to Angola.

In Group E, Guinea revitalized its campaign with a 90-67 win over Cameroon. Despite the absence of key players Alpha Diallo and Hamidou Diallo, the Syli Basket secured two wins and one loss during this window, reaching 15 points and trailing the group leader, Cameroon, by only one point.

Other notable developments include Nigeria keeping its qualification hopes alive with a 100-84 victory over Cape Verde.
