D’Tigers Threatened with Hotel Eviction in Angola Amid Unpaid Bills

Nigeria’s basketball team may be asked to vacate their hotel during the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers in Luanda. Organisers say participation and accommodation fees remain unsettled. The D’Tigers started on a high note with an 84-81 win over Tunisia. But a FIBA official warns that outstanding hotel and tournament charges could derail their campaign if not paid promptly. Government delegates are expected in Angola to sort the payments. The National Sports Commission oversees funding for such events, and sources say some fees and travel costs are still pending. This funding shortfall is not new. Past competitions also suffered delays and disruptions due to unsettled bills, putting Nigeria’s qualification hopes under added strain.
