Sarah Ogoke, legendary former captain of Nigeria’s D’Tigress, has brought her journey with the Nigerian national team to an end after more than ten years of competition.

She leaves with an unprecedented record: five titles won at the Women’s AfroBasket tournament in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025. She's the only African woman to win the #AfroBasket five times and the first to do it back-to-back. She's also a practising surgeon and a mother who returned to the court less than a year after childbirth.

Ogoke is one of the most decorated figures in African women’s #basketball, with a distinguished career defined by excellence, leadership, and historic achievements. Her name remains closely linked to Nigeria’s dominance on the continent, notably marked by a 29-game unbeaten run between 2015 and 2025.

Thank you for everything Sarah Ogoke and best of luck in all future endeavors!. 💚🤍💚
