? Egypt achieved its first victory in the FIBA World Cup: After losing the chance to qualify for the next round in the FIBA World Cup following defeats against Lithuania and Montenegro, the Egyptian national team achieved its first victory in the final match against Mexico with a score of 100-72 today, to finish the group stage in third place nabbing four points from two defeats and one victory, so far.

The Pharaohs journey in the World Cup is not over yet: The team missed the chance to qualify for the round of 16 where it would have had the only African qualification card for the Paris Olympics 2024 directly, if it achieved best rank among the African teams.

Nevertheless, Egypt still has a route to the Olympics. Our team will play two matches with the third and fourth-placed players in Group C, which includes the United States, Greece, New Zealand and Jordan, in order to determine the 17th to 32nd-ranked owners. Egypt needs to come out on top in the two matches to snatch the qualification ticket to the Olympics — provided that it is not snatched by any other African team in the final World Cup standings. If this is not achieved, our team will be forced to compete in the international competitions that qualify for the Olympics, in which 23 teams compete for a single ticket.

The third round of the Basketball World Cup will conclude tomorrow with the following matches:

  • South Sudan v Serbia (11am)
  • Georgia v Venezuela (11am)
