Egypt’s participation comes with major importance as the national team looks to demonstrate its ability to compete at continental level and deliver a performance that reflects the development of Egyptian volleyball, while also gaining valuable experience ahead of upcoming international commitments.
Egyptian supporters are eagerly awaiting the beginning of the Pharaohs’ campaign, with hopes that the team can produce positive results from the early stages, reach the final and compete strongly for the trophy.
🇪🇬 Yasser Kamar Heads the Egyptian Delegation in Tunisia
Yasser Kamar, president of the Egyptian Volleyball Federation, is leading the national team delegation during its stay in Tunisia, reflecting the strong administrative support surrounding the squad and coaching staff ahead of the competition.
The federation president has chosen to accompany the team throughout the championship, helping provide the players and technical staff with an environment focused on stability and concentration, particularly because continental competitions require comprehensive preparation on both technical and administrative levels.
The Egyptian federation hopes the team can make full use of this support and achieve its main objective of challenging for the title while presenting a strong image of Egyptian volleyball.
🔥 African Championship Provides Important Preparation for Major Events
The importance of the African Championship goes beyond the title itself, as it represents one of the key stages in the national team’s preparation program for future international competitions.
The tournament gains additional importance because it is connected to preparations for the 2027 Men’s World Championship and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, making every match an important opportunity to test the team’s readiness and further develop the players.
Competing in a strong continental tournament also gives the players valuable experience against different opponents and allows the coaching staff to evaluate strengths while addressing areas that still require improvement.
🗓️ Key Dates for the Championship
The tournament’s technical meeting is scheduled for September 15, while the competition officially begins on September 16.
The final is scheduled for September 25, with the Egyptian delegation set to leave Tunisia on September 26 after the conclusion of the championship.
The schedule presents an additional physical challenge for participating teams, particularly because matches will be played in close succession, making fitness, recovery and workload management important factors throughout the tournament.
👥 Pharaohs Have a Complete Technical and Administrative Staff
The national team is led by a specialized technical and administrative staff. Coach Ahmed Samir serves as head coach, while Coach Mohamed Refaat works as general coach.
The staff also includes Coach Ahmed El-Nabawy as technical analyst, Dr. Sameh Zalam as rehabilitation and injury specialist, and Dr. Belal Morsi as fitness and conditioning coach.
Coach Omar Khalifa serves as team administrator, while Coach Walid El-Khashen joins the delegation as the accompanying referee.
The structure reflects the national team’s determination to provide technical, physical, medical and administrative support throughout the tournament so that the players can remain focused on their performances.
⭐ Fourteen Players Represent Egypt
Egypt’s squad includes 14 players:
Team captain Reda Heikal, Ahmed Azab, Yassin Mohamed, Mostafa Gaber, Ahmed Saeed, Abdelrahman El-Hosseiny, Mohamed Asran, Ahmed Diaa, Mohamed Adel, Hamada Othman, Shehab El-Din Nabil, Ahmed Youssef, Mohamed Reda and Hazem Kamal.
Selecting this group represents an important step in building a competitive lineup, with every player expected to perform his role during the tournament according to the coaching staff’s technical vision.
⚡ Physical Readiness Could Be the Key to the African Campaign
African volleyball tournaments require a high level of physical readiness, particularly when matches are played in quick succession with limited recovery periods.
The work of the medical staff and fitness coach will therefore be important in maintaining player availability, while the coaching staff will also need to manage workloads and make appropriate substitutions according to the circumstances of each match.
Maintaining concentration during decisive points can also make a major difference in closely contested international games, requiring experience and composure during difficult moments.
🧠 Egypt Look to Develop a Champion’s Mentality
The Pharaohs enter the tournament with a clear ambition of competing for first place, which requires the team to develop a strong identity from the opening match.
Egypt will need to use every match to improve understanding among the players, develop collective performance and reach its highest possible level as the tournament progresses.
Winning matches is not only about attacking power. It also requires strong reception, defensive organization and concentration during decisive rallies, all of which could play major roles in determining the team’s overall campaign.
📢 Fans Await the Start of the Challenge
Egyptian volleyball enjoys a strong fan base, and supporters are eagerly awaiting the start of the championship to follow the national team’s campaign in Tunisia, with hopes that the Pharaohs can produce strong performances and return to Cairo with the best possible result.
Fan support can provide players with an important psychological boost, particularly during difficult matches that require concentration and resilience.
