#1 TUNISIA
Qualifiers Record: 6-0 in Group A
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 2nd
The reigning African champions Tunisia have made amends for their defeats in Brazil and host Croatia during Croatia’s FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) two months ago. After a 2-0 win over Cote d’Ivoire in their latest warm-up match before heading to Kigali, Tunisia spelt out the following message loudly: “Do not ever underestimate the heart of a champion.”
The return of Makram Ben Romdhane Michael Roll and Ziyed Chennoufi who all filled on the OQT are a huge improvement for Tunisia. They are more imposing than they did in the Qualifiers. Tunisia picked six players of the AfroBasket 2017 team that won, including: Omar Abada, Ziyed Chennoufi Mourad Al Mabrouk and Makthar Hhyaza, as well as Radhouane Slimane. This is the Tunisian engine is in full flow for Kigali.
#2 SENEGAL
Qualifiers Record: 5-1 in Group B
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 4th
Senegal could be headed to the Kigali match with a new squad, but the fact that they have Gorgui Dieng who is twice AfroBasket player – Youssoupha Ndoye as well as newcomer the point guard Pierria Henry speak something about the potential of the team. Dieng has never shied away from his desire to assist his country in winning the AfroBasket before contemplating retirement of the team. Are we now in the midst of Senegal’s time? The Senegalese are looking very confident in Kigali, particularly after edging out Guinea as well as Rwanda in a three-nation competition in Dakar the week before.
#3 EGYPT
Qualifiers Record: 5-0 in Group E
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 6th
Egypt’s biggest asset going into its AfroBasket festival is its team’s unity. Ahmed Marei’s team is big seven-footer Omar Oraby has rejoined the team – as well as talent and hasn’t been as competitive in a while. Assem Marei Haytham Khalifa, and Ibrahim El Gammal aren’t going to Kigali However, Egypt’s record of 6-0 in the Qualifiers is a reflection of the team’s improvement over the last few years.
#4 ANGOLA
Qualifiers Record: 4-2 in Group B
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 3rd
While this Angola team isn’t being the best and isn’t as big, they are a good group with plenty of AfroBasket knowledge to spare. The 42-year-old Eduardo Mingas came out of the retirement of the national team on the advice of the head coach Joseph Claros. Mingas along with Carlos Morais are the only two players from the African Championship to have won four AfroBasket titles (2005 2007 and 2009, as well as 2013). Their former teammate on the national team Miguel Lutonda, who currently is one of the 2 assistant coaches has won the AfroBasket title five times (1999 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007 and 1999). Angola has held a exercise camp Portugal in which they played a number of friendly games. “The team is ready to compete,” Leonel Paulo stated.
#5 COTE D’IVOIRE
Qualifiers Record: 6-0 in Group C
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 5th
Cote d’Ivoire’s team lost to Tunisia by 62-47 during an opening game couple of days before leaving to Kigali However, this team can be a force when the time is right, like they did when they finished their Qualifiers season 6-0 with two wins, including two against an insufferable Cameroon team from Cameroon. Deon Thompson was a key player in the “Elephants'” from Cote Ivoire during the Qualifiers. However, Thompson will not be playing in Kigali. His spot is taken over with Matthew Costello, who had an brief time playing in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs. After taking home the prize in the debut Basketball Africa League with Zamalek in May in Kigali Souleyman Diabate’s win is an important boost for his country.
#6 CAMEROON
Qualifiers Record: 4-2 in Group C
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 7th
A quick glance at the Cameroon team is clear that they could cause trouble in Kigali. Kenneth Kadji, DJ Strawberry and Jeremy Nzeulie could help the team’s offense run smoothly. Additionally, Cameroon not only kept the core team from the Qualifiers, but also have also added some competent shooters.
#7 NIGERIA
Qualifiers Record: 6-0 in Group D
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 1st
Nigeria was present at Tokyo 2020 in the month of October with eight NBA players, but none of them were available to play Kigali. The Nigerian Basketball Federation announced their final roster just a week prior to the AfroBasket 2021 tournament, Omotayo Jordan Oludiran was the only returning participant from the Qualifiers, where he scored 2.7 points over three games. Head coach Mike Brown needs to be competent enough to create a winning team in just two weeks. The likelihood that winning the No.1 side on the continent of Africa getting their third AfroBasket since 2015 are being debated.
#8 SOUTH SUDAN
Qualifiers Record: 3-3 in Group D
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 14th
This team’s potential and potential need no introduction. When they South Sudanese try to build their own identity as a group and build their identity as a team, it’s reasonable to conclude that they’re capable of breaking from the group Phase.
#9 UGANDA
Qualifiers Record: 3-1 in Group E
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 13th
Uganda have had to overcome both ups and downs in their journey to Kigali. After a historic victory away against Morocco in the month of March The Silverbacks announced that they could being left out of the 16-nation AfroBasket due to a lack of funds. They eventually made it even though warm-up games were planned prior to the event. Uganda are ranked No.9 in this rankings solely because of their courage as well as their determination to play with the best players on the continent. And if the most influential athlete Ishmail Wainright is in the lineup the team can make a mark.
#10 CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Qualifiers Record: 3-3 in Group A
FIBA World Ranking (Africa) presented by Nike 10th
It is yet to be determined what happens if the return of one Central African Republic’s best players Romain Sato will be able to help lead the team get past to the next Phase.
