As the FIBA AfroBasket 2025 Qualifiers reach their third window, Rwanda faces a crucial test against Senegal at the Salle IBN Yassine in Rabat, Morocco, at 4:00 PM. This game is pivotal for both teams as they vie for qualification to the prestigious AfroBasket tournament. In the previous encounter between these two teams during the second window on November 22, 2024, Senegal emerged victorious with an 81-59 win over Rwanda. The match saw Senegal dominate in all four quarters, particularly excelling in the second and third quarters, where they outscored Rwanda 23-14 and 21-10, respectively. Youssou Ndoye led the scoring for Senegal with 14 points, while Robbenys Williams was the top scorer for Rwanda with 12 points. For this upcoming match, Senegal remains unchanged, with the same lineup as in the previous game. Rwanda, however, has made some adjustments, adding fresh faces to the squad, including Mpoyo Axel, Ntore Habimana, and Bruno Shema, who didn’t feature in the last match. Senegal leads Group C with 6 points, having won all three of their matches in the second window. Rwanda sits in third place with 4 points, having won one and lost two. A win for Senegal would secure their qualification for the 2025 AfroBasket. Rwanda, on the other hand, still has hopes of advancing but must win two of their remaining games to secure a spot, with the possibility of qualifying even with one win if Gabon loses all their matches. Historically, Senegal holds a commanding head-to-head record over Rwanda, leading 5-1. Rwanda’s last victory over Senegal dates back to August 27, 2013, in the FIBA Africa Championship, a strong reminder of the challenge ahead. This game is not just about a spot in AfroBasket 2025 it’s a chance for Rwanda to prove their resilience and ambition on the continental stage.
