Share

As the global esports community gears up for another exhilarating season, Nigeria is ready to make its mark on the international stage. The third season of eFIBA, FIBA’s official NBA 2K tournament, is just around the corner, and with it comes a chance for our nation to shine. With so much anticipation in the air, the excitement is palpable as our best virtual athletes prepare to compete against some of the toughest teams in the world.

eFIBA Season 3: A Global Stage for Nigerian Talent

eFIBA Season 3 will showcase the latest in virtual basketball, featuring NBA 2K25 on the PlayStation 5. The tournament promises to be a spectacle of gaming excellence, where National Federations from multiple regions will go head-to-head for a share of the $50,000 prize pool. For Nigeria, this is more than just a game; it’s an opportunity to demonstrate our nation’s resilience, creativity, and competitive spirit on an international stage.

The journey begins on October 1, 2024, with the Regional Pre-Qualifiers, where our national team will face off against other African powerhouses. The competition will be fierce, especially with Morocco, last season’s regional champion, setting the benchmark. But our athletes are no strangers to adversity. From the courts of Lagos to the screens of gamers across the country, Nigeria’s passion for basketball and gaming has never been stronger.

A Nation’s Pride on the Line

As the tournament progresses, our players will need to summon every ounce of their skill and determination. The Regional Qualifiers and Finals, running from October 15 to November 7, will be a true test of their mettle. Eight teams will eventually secure their places in the eFIBA World Finals, set to take place in December, where they will compete in person, under the bright lights and watchful eyes of a global audience.

More Than a Game: The Power of Community

eFIBA has always been more than just a tournament—it’s a celebration of community, collaboration, and the love of the game. This season, the involvement of Nigerian creators and co-streamers will add a unique flavor to the event. Through collaborations and streaming opportunities, our vibrant esports community will have the chance to engage with the tournament in unprecedented ways, bringing the excitement of eFIBA into homes across the country.
