South Sudan completed the fourth window of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers unbeaten, edging hosts Tunisia 79-75 in Radès on Sunday. The Bright Stars, already the top-ranked African team in the FIBA standings, followed earlier wins over Guinea and Nigeria by holding off the Tunisian crowd to seal a third straight victory in the window.
Cameroon was stunned 67-90 by Guinea in the same group. The Lions struggled defensively, allowing the Syli National to pull away and bounce back from their opening loss to South Sudan. The result cost Cameroon a chance to finish the window with an unblemished record.
Nigeria closed the group stage with a confident 100-84 win over Cape Verde, a result that ended Cape Verde's hopes and reignited the Tigers' push for a qualifying spot. The fourth window's third matchday wrapped up the action in Radès, with South Sudan and Nigeria finishing the window on a high while Cameroon and Tunisia were left with work to do.
