🤾 Ahmed Shobeir Praises Egyptian Handball
Media figure Ahmed Shobeir praised the achievements of Egyptian handball, pointing to the strong results produced by the national teams in recent years.
Shobeir believes that one of the main factors behind the sport’s continued success is the clear connection between different generations, allowing experience to be passed on while maintaining a consistent development pathway.
📢 “The Connection Between Generations”
Speaking on his radio program “Ma’a Shobeir,” Ahmed Shobeir said: “Let me salute, congratulate and celebrate Egyptian handball. Handball and squash have a quality that others do not have, and that is the connection between generations.”
Shobeir stressed that this connection can be seen across the national teams, with success extending beyond the senior squad to youth and junior sides.
🏆 Success From the Senior Team to Youth Levels
Shobeir added: “You see the senior handball team winning the African title and achieving excellent results at the Olympics and World Cup, and then you find the teams below them achieving success as well.”
In his view, these results point to a strong player development base, with younger national teams continuing the progress achieved by the senior squad.
⭐ Another African Title for the U-18 Team
The media figure also highlighted the latest achievement of Egypt’s U-18 national team, which won the African title after defeating Tunisia.
He said: “Just yesterday, the U-18 national team won the African championship against Tunisia, and before that, the youth team also defeated Tunisia and won the African title.”
The latest triumph adds another achievement to Egypt’s record at youth level and reinforces the discussion surrounding the strength of the country’s handball development system.
🔥 Shobeir Sets High Ambitions for Egyptian Handball
Shobeir went further in his assessment, arguing that handball has significant potential to achieve major success at the global level among Egyptian team sports.
“I believe the only team sport in Egypt capable of winning a World Championship is handball, and the one capable of going far at the Olympics is handball,” he said.
This remains Shobeir’s assessment, based on the results achieved by Egyptian national teams and the continuing success of the youth and junior squads.
🥇 The Next Generations Continue the Success
The achievements of Egypt’s youth and junior national teams provide further evidence of a continued development pathway, with different age groups contributing to the sport’s overall progress.
The challenge for Egyptian handball will be to maintain and develop this structure, allowing the senior team to remain competitive in continental tournaments while continuing to target strong performances on the world and Olympic stages.
