South Korea clash with Nigeria in Group B of the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup. South Korea won three of their five games at the Lyon-Villeurbanne Qualifying Tournament, including their second fixture against Nigeria, hence our prediction in favour of South Korea.
South Korea’s 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup qualifying campaign ended with an 89–62 defeat to World No. 2 France in the Lyon-Villeurbanne Qualifying Tournament. However, three consecutive wins before that defeat were enough to seal their berth at the tournament.
Overall, Park Soo-ho’s team posted a 3–2 record in the Lyon-Villeurbanne Qualifying Tournament, including a 77–60 victory over Nigeria in their second fixture. They fell 79–64 to the Czech Republic in their final warm-up game for this tournament.
However, this clash presents another opportunity for the Asian giants to assert their dominance over the D’Tigress and strengthen their credentials on the global stage.
Nigeria qualified for this tournament after defeating Mali 78–64 to claim their fifth successive AfroBasket title in August. Since then, the D’Tigress have struggled for results.
They have lost eight of their last 11 games, including three defeats in five games at the Lyon-Villeurbanne Qualifying Tournament. Their most recent outing ended in a 90–55 defeat to Belgium.

Our Republic Of Korea vs Nigeria Prediction
