If this holds up, the Nigerian Women's team won't be able to play in the World Cup, per this quote: "The women's side, D'Tigress, who have qualified for the World Cup scheduled for September in Australia, would also be unable to attend the tournament. They would also miss a chance to tie Senegal's record of four straight titles, which they achieved between 1974 and 1981." Two years without competition would be detrimental to a program that has been making strides in FIBA competitions. [/QUOTE]
