Thursday, August 22 Group C Rwanda Vs Great Britain 8pm As Rwanda Women prepare to face Great Britain in their last Group D encounter on Thursday night at BK Arena, head coach Cheikh Sarr has said that his side will maintain its fighting spirit and confidence. Rwanda has not lost a single game in the ongoing 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup pre-qualifiers, having both of their first two games – against Lebanon and Argentina. The hosts on Wednesday night booked their ticket to the semi-finals after handing giants Argentina a 58-38 humbling defeat.

We don’t play based on who is in front of us, we respect all teams but we respect ourselves more,” Sarr said after victory against Argentina. A win against Great Britain will guarantee them a top spot in Group D while losing by a point difference between 14 and 33 points would see them finish second but only if Argentina beat Lebanon.
