2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers: D'Tigers Camp Opens Saturday In Ivory Coast

Ahead of the fourth window of the 2023 FIBA World Cup qualifiers, head coach of the D'Tigers Mike Brown has confirmed that the team's camp will open on Saturday in Ivory Coast, BSNsports.com.ng has gathered.

The American-born gaffer last week invited 15 players to camp for the final window of the qualifier.

Brown said getting there early will help the team settle down on time for the task ahead as they continue their quest to secure passage to the World cup.

 â€œWe are trying to get there earlier to see whether we can have a few more practice games, and to see whether we can get ready to perform at a little higher level in game one. In the last window, things were put together at the last second and we went there right before the first game”.

“Hopefully, with us getting there a little earlier, getting three or four practices under our belt, it will show a little bit of difference when it comes to playing the games”, he told NBBF media.

D'Tigers need to up their game in the competition as they are currently sitting in 4th position.

They will open their campaign against host- Cote d’Ivoire on Friday, 26 before facing Guinea a day after. On Sunday, 28 August, the team will square up against Angola.
