Ahmed El-Khatib: Completing the Team Is Important

Ahmed El-Khatib, president of the Egyptian Speed-Ball Federation, stressed that completing the junior national team is an important step in the preparations for the upcoming World Championship.

He explained that the national team members were selected through strong and fair competitions, ensuring that Egypt will be represented by its strongest available players at the global event.

El-Khatib said: “We are happy to have completed Egypt’s junior national team. What matters most to us is that the players earned their places through competition on the court, which gives us great confidence in their ability to produce strong performances at the World Championship.”

Egypt Target the Top Positions

The Egyptian Speed-Ball Federation president stressed that participation in the World Championship is not simply about making an appearance. The goal is to compete strongly for the top positions and achieve results that reflect Egypt’s status in the sport.

He confirmed that the federation is working to provide the necessary technical and organizational resources to prepare the players and give them the best possible conditions before the competition begins.

El-Khatib said: “We have a talented generation of boys and girls, and we are working to provide them with all the necessary technical and organizational resources. Our goal is not simply to participate in the World Championship, but to compete strongly for the top positions and raise Egypt’s flag high in the tournament hosted by Cairo.”

Hosting in Cairo Gives Egypt an Extra Boost

The upcoming edition carries special importance for Egypt because the championship will be held in Cairo in front of Egyptian supporters.

The federation believes that hosting the competition at home can provide the players with additional crowd and psychological support, while also allowing them to gain valuable experience by competing in a major global event against some of the sport’s leading athletes.

El-Khatib stressed that hosting the championship represents a major responsibility and that the federation is working to organize an edition worthy of Egypt’s name and standing in speed-ball.

Fan Support as an Additional Weapon

Egypt’s junior team will hope to benefit from the support of home fans during the championship and turn the encouragement from the stands into strong performances and medals.

Playing at home provides the young athletes with an important opportunity to compete at an international event in a familiar environment, potentially helping them deal with pressure more effectively.

The energy of the crowd could also become a motivating factor during the decisive moments of the competition.

A New Generation With Major Ambitions

The completion of the junior national team reflects the presence of a promising new generation of Egyptian speed-ball talent, particularly with players representing several different clubs.

This group gives the federation an opportunity to build a strong foundation for the future while continuing to develop athletes across different age categories and prepare them for international competitions.

The current World Championship could therefore become an important stage in the careers of these young champions, both in terms of results and international experience.

Egypt Prepare for a Special World Championship

With the junior national team now complete, a new stage of technical and organizational preparations begins ahead of the 37th World Championship.

The challenge for the players will be to transform their qualifying results into strong performances at the tournament, while the federation will continue working to provide all the necessary conditions for Egypt to perform strongly as hosts.

Egyptian supporters will be hoping to see all eight champions deliver their best performances, compete for medals and raise the Egyptian flag in one of the most important speed-ball championships in the world.
