The men will hope to defend their title which they won in 2017 while the women who lost out narrowly to Mali in  2017 final will hope to go a step further and win the title.

The delegation was led to Togo by the Director of 3×3, Nigeria and Chairman, Federal Capital Territory Basketball Association, Frank Jituboh.
