Okoye Urges D’Tigers to Stay Focused in 2027 World Cup Qualifiers

D’Tigers forward Stan Okoye says Nigeria must stay resilient and focused for the full 40 minutes of every match as the team pursues qualification for the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup. Ahead of the next African qualifying window in Tunisia, Okoye said Nigeria cannot afford to look beyond any opponent. D’Tigers face Cameroon, South Sudan and Cape Verde, with each side presenting a different tactical challenge. Okoye, the last active member of Nigeria’s 2015 AfroBasket-winning squad, said the team must build on its four-game winning run through strong conditioning, discipline and a game-by-game approach.
