Egypt’s U17 national volleyball team wrote a new chapter in its list of achievements after winning the gold medal at the second Arab Volleyball Championship, held in Bahrain, following an impressive 3-1 victory over the host nation Bahrain in the final. 🏆🇪🇬

The title confirmed the Egyptian team’s strength and ability to compete and impose its character against the leading Arab teams, especially as the Pharaohs produced a perfect campaign from their opening match until the moment they lifted the championship trophy.

Egypt Completes a Perfect Campaign 🔥

Egypt’s road to the gold medal was not without challenges, but the team managed to deal with every match with great focus, producing strong technical and physical performances that reflected the level of preparation throughout the competition.

The Egyptian team began its campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Kuwait before producing the same result against Jordan, maintaining its perfect start.

The winning run continued as Egypt defeated Saudi Arabia 3-0 and then overcame Algeria by the same scoreline, reaching the final with a perfect record and without dropping a single set on its way to the decisive match.

In the final against Bahrain, the Egyptian players maintained their focus and secured a 3-1 victory, winning the gold medal and confirming their Arab dominance. ⭐

The Gold Medal Reflects Investment in Youth Development

The achievement highlights the importance of developing youth categories, particularly because national teams always need a strong pool of young players capable of representing Egypt in major competitions in the coming years.

The U17 title comes amid the Egyptian Volleyball Federation’s focus on youth development and efforts to provide players with appropriate technical and physical preparation, helping them gain international experience at an early age.

Such tournaments provide young players with an important opportunity to compete against different levels of opposition while also strengthening their confidence before progressing to higher age categories.

Yasser Qamar: The Achievement Confirms the Strength of Egyptian Talent

Engineer Yasser Qamar, president of the Egyptian Volleyball Federation, praised the team’s performance throughout the championship, stressing that the title represents another important addition to the achievements of Egypt’s national teams. 📢

Qamar emphasized that the success achieved in Bahrain was not a matter of chance, but rather the result of continuous work, planning and strong attention to youth development, noting that building powerful national teams starts with discovering and developing talent at the youth levels.

The federation president also praised the players and coaching staff, stressing that maintaining a perfect record throughout the tournament reflects the focus and discipline shown by the team.

Qamar praised the coaching staff led by head coach Percy Onken, stressing that support for Egypt’s national teams will continue and that the necessary resources will be provided to develop new generations capable of achieving further success at Arab, continental and international levels.

The Egyptian squad at the championship included several promising young players: Seif Senhory, Adham Ali, Youssef Salah, Omar Omran, Youssef Mohamed, Ahmed Ayman, Adel Awad El-Naggar, Ibrahim Fakhry, Yassin Nasser, Adham Eid, Ali Moamen, Ahmed Tamer, Mahmoud Shawkat and Moataz Ahmed Talaat.

The team is coached by Percy Onken, assisted by Mohamed Abdel Moneim as general coach, while Sameh Nour is responsible for injury rehabilitation and Ahmed El-Nabawy serves as the technical analyst.

A New Generation Raising Egypt’s Flag ⭐

The title provides a major boost for Egyptian volleyball, particularly because the emergence of a new generation capable of winning championships at a young age represents a positive sign for the future of the national teams.

With continued investment in youth development, Egyptian volleyball has a genuine opportunity to build a strong foundation capable of competing in Arab and continental competitions in the coming years.

The biggest challenge for this generation will be maintaining its development and making the most of the experience gained, so that the Bahrain gold medal becomes the beginning of a long journey of achievements rather than simply another championship. ✨
