The four-time African champions will go against France, Japan and the United States of America in group B of the Tokyo Olympics.
The Basketball event of the summer Olympics begins from July 26 to August 8th.
He reiterated that the teams are not going to the Olympics just to add to the number of teams, hence the need for a thorough preparation.

D’ Tigress are the number one team in Africa having qualified first for the Olympic Games earlier last year.
