Egypt’s men handball national team managed to reach the 2022 African Championship's final after defeating Tunisia 29-27 in the semi-final to power into the final for the second time in a row.
The match will take place on Monday at 21:00 CLT.
The 2022 and 2024 African Men’s Handball Championships were originally planned to take place in Morocco and Algeria, but CAHB made the decision to ban both countries from organizing the prestigious tournament due to a lack of sportsmanship.
Following the ban, the two competitions were moved to Egypt, with the 2022 edition starting from July 11 until July 18 in the 6th of October City.
Egypt were placed in group A alongside Morocco and Cameroon, and following two easy wins, the Pharaohs qualified for the quarter-finals alongside their North African neighbors.
In the quarter-finals, Egypt found itself against another North African country, this time Algeria, with the game taking place on Friday night.
The Pharaohs had no problems at all against the seven-time African champions, ending the first-half 20-8 ahead, before continuing their dominance in the second-half, winning the tie 34-19.
The win have secured Egypt a place in the 2023 World Men’s Handball Championship in Poland and Sweden as well as a spot in the semi-finals against Tunisia.
