Overview

In late July 2026 Egypt’s junior athletes continued to dominate continental competition. After the under‑18 men’s volleyball team opened the Alexandria tournament with a straight‑sets victory over Burundi on 22 July, the squad extended its strong start by defeating Morocco 3‑0 (25‑14, 25‑15, 25‑17) on 26 July to secure a quarter‑final place. Parallelly, Egyptian youth and junior judokas reaffirmed their superiority at the African Judo Championships in Morocco (20‑27 June), topping the medal table with six gold, three silver and four bronze medals. Notable gold‑medalists included Youssef Kassar (73 kg) and Mustafa Al‑Ramli (100 kg). President Mohamed Muti of the Egyptian Judo Federation praised the results as evidence of steady progress toward stronger continental and global competition. These performances underline Egypt’s growing depth in junior volleyball and judo across Africa.
