According to El-Dehrawy, preparations will begin early to ensure that the national teams arrive at the tournament in the strongest possible physical and technical condition.
The federation also intends to provide the athletes with all the necessary resources throughout the preparation period in order to maximize their chances of success.
🔥 Egypt target maximum medals
Egypt’s ambitions go beyond simply taking part in the African Games.
El-Dehrawy stressed that the federation’s goal is to challenge strongly for the title and win as many medals as possible, while relying on the support of the Egyptian crowd throughout the competition.
He also expressed his confidence in Egypt’s athletes and their ability to produce another major achievement for Egyptian karate.
📢 Cairo prepares for major African sporting event
With karate participation now confirmed, Egypt continues its preparations to host the 2027 African Games, which will bring athletes from across the continent together in a wide range of sports.
