Egypt’s Men handball national team have reached the 2023 World Championship and the semi-finals of the 2022 African Championship following an easy victory over Algeria.
The 2022 and 2024 African Men’s Handball Championships were originally planned to take place in Morocco and Algeria, but CAHB made the decision to ban both countries from organizing the prestigious tournament due to a lack of sportsmanship.
Following the ban, the two competitions were moved to Egypt, with the 2022 edition starting from July 11 until July 18 in the 6th of October City.
Egypt were placed in group A alongside Morocco and Cameroon, and following two easy wins, the Pharaohs qualified for the quarter-finals alongside their North African neighbors.
In the quarter-finals, Egypt found itself against another North African country, this time Algeria, with the game taking place on Friday night.
The Pharaohs had no problems at all against the seven-time African champions, ending the first-half 20-8 ahead, before continuing their dominance in the second-half, winning the tie 34-19.
The win have secured Egypt a place in the 2023 World Men’s Handball Championship in Poland and Sweden as well as a spot in the semi-finals against Tunisia.
The Eagles of Carthage had won Group C ahead of Cape Verde and Nigeria, before coming up against DR Congo in the quarter-finals, the game which they 40-34 after overtime.
Tunisia have won the competition on 10 different occasions and have reached the final of the last 10 editions, losing the 2020 final to Egypt in Radès.
Meanwhile, Morocco and Cape Verde overcame Guinea and Angola respectively and will face each other in the second tie of the semi-finals.
Both the semi-finals games will take place on Saturday, July 16 at the Hassan Moustafa Sports Hall, the 6th of October.
