D’Tigress Eliminated from 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup

D’Tigress have crashed out of the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup following a disappointing performance that leaves them unable to finish above South Korea or Hungary in Group B. France secured their second victory in the group, having previously defeated Hungary, while South Korea's win over Nigeria solidified their position.

The early elimination means D’Tigress cannot advance to the quarter-finals, as the tournament format allows only the top four group winners to progress directly, with second and third-placed teams entering a play-in round. Nigeria's exit also means they will not participate in the qualification round and will face France in their final group match.

This setback ends their hopes of matching or surpassing their best-ever World Cup finish, which was reaching the quarter-finals in 2018 in Tenerife, Spain. With qualification no longer at stake, D’Tigress will aim to produce a strong performance against France to conclude their campaign positively.
