The first Egyptian national hockey team faces Namibia today in the third round competitions of the African Hockey Road to Tokyo 2020, held in South Africa from 12th to 18th of August.

Our national team started the championship with a victory over Zambia 6-0, then won the game over Kenya 7-2 in the second round of the African Hockey Road to Tokyo 2020.

Egypt, Zambia, Ghana, Namibia, Kenya and South Africa are participating in the championship.

Our national team, led by Mohy Zaghloul the Technical Director, is hoping to snatch the qualifying ticket, especially after their outstanding performance at the last French International Championship, held last month in France. Note that South Africa is the first candidate to win the qualifiers.

The team who wins the first place, qualifies for the finals of the 2020 summer Olympics in Tokyo.
