Egypt's girls' 3x3 basketball team continued its impressive run at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal, securing a place in the quarterfinals after winning both group-stage matches against the Czech Republic and Ukraine.

The Egyptian team finished the group stage with a perfect record, showing strong determination and the ability to handle difficult moments.

Their second victory was particularly close, as they defeated Ukraine by just one point to remain unbeaten in the competition.

Two Wins Secure Qualification

Egypt began its group-stage campaign against the Czech Republic and delivered a strong performance to claim a 12-8 victory.

The result gave the team an important first win and brought it closer to qualification for the knockout stage.

The second match against Ukraine proved much more challenging, with both teams competing closely throughout the game.

However, the Egyptian players managed to secure an 11-10 victory, winning by the narrowest possible margin and confirming their place in the quarterfinals.

With two victories from two matches, Egypt completed the group stage with a perfect record and showed its ability to compete under pressure.

The performances against the Czech Republic and Ukraine also demonstrated the team's ability to adapt to different opponents and match situations.

Quarterfinal Date and Egypt Squad

Egypt will play its quarterfinal match on Sunday, November 8, 2026, with its opponent yet to be confirmed until the remaining qualification matches are completed.

The Egyptian squad includes four players: Hania Nasser, Jody Walid, Laila Hossam, and Mariam Hazem.

The team is coached by Mohamed Younes, who hopes to build on the positive results and guide his players further into the competition.

Egypt will enter the quarterfinals with confidence after its successful start, but the knockout stage will require even greater focus and consistency.

Unlike the group stage, a defeat in the quarterfinals would bring the team's campaign to an end, making every moment of the upcoming match important.

The coaching staff will aim to maintain the players' confidence while preparing carefully for the next opponent, regardless of its previous results.

Reaching the quarterfinals is an important step for Egyptian youth basketball, particularly in the fast-paced 3x3 format, where quick decisions, accurate shooting, and strong teamwork can make the difference.

Attention now turns to Sunday's match as Egypt looks to build on its perfect group-stage record, reach the later rounds, and achieve another memorable result for Egyptian basketball at the Youth Olympic Games.
