FilGoal.com reviews the history of Egypt's participation in the handball world championships up to now.
Pre-Tidman:
Before the German Paul Tidman took control of Egyptian handball or, more precisely, before the early 1990s, the Egyptian team had little history in the match.
Egypt did not compete in the Team Tidman team's technical direction only once at the 12-man world championships.
The only Egyptian participation in 1964 in the Czech Republic and the team suffered three heavy defeats against the Swedish, Hungarian and Icelandic teams to spoil the pharaohs' arrangement.
At continental level, the length of Africa has been established eight times and Egypt has never won the title, despite the domination of the strongest Algerian team in Africa at that time.
Finally, at the Olympic level, Egypt has not participated in the Olympic Games and since Berlin 1936 and Seoul 1988.
Tedman's achievements:
The German Paul Tiedman can be considered the true boomer of Egyptian handball, whether at the continental or world level.
Tedman managed to build the confidence of Egyptian players to break the barrier of fear, which was then successful.
Tedman began his career focusing on the continental championships and competing with the dominant champions of Algeria, which the Pharaohs managed to do very quickly.
The Egyptian team won the title of two champions of African nations in 91 and 92, after a major surprise on the continent because they are the first two Pharaohs.
Tidman then sent the Pharaohs from the African scene to the World Cup in friendly matches against European teams such as France and Sweden, to make contact with more powerful competitors.
Tidman tempered the grief of the players facing the heavy defeats of the European teams and stressed that it was normal and that it was a stage of transition for development.
Indeed, Tedman managed to move the Egyptian team of continental achievements towards the transition to the world and the Pharaohs qualified to participate in the world championship in Sweden in 1993. Since then, the Pharaohs have not missed the world championship and not once.
Egypt managed to achieve a historic feat under Tidman's leadership by winning the Czech Republic's 21-20 opening match and becoming the first Arab and African team to win a European team at the world championship. a major feat.
Although Egypt won 12th position out of 16 teams, the team was awarded with international honors due to the convergence of the results of the Egyptian team's matches with the international teams. As much as the Pharaohs have little history.
Ijaz Zoran:
Tedman left the Pharaohs after the World Cup in Sweden in 1993. Despite Egypt's failure to qualify for the African Championship final from 2000 to 2000, the quarter-finals of the World Cup have become familiar in the absence of the team.
Egypt won sixth place in Iceland 95 and Japan 97, and seventh place in Cairo 99 with 24 teams from different continents.
Zoran Zivkovic, the goalkeeper of the former Yugoslavia, took charge of the Egyptian team to restore the achievements of the Pharaohs, made under the direction of Tedman.
Zoran, who led Yugoslavia to the 1996 World Cup and the 1984 Olympics, led Egypt to the African Nations Cup in 2000 in Algeria, the country that won the title.
In 2001, Zoran was about to write a new page in the history of Egyptian handball to participate in the World Championships and the desire to repeat the exploits of Tidman became a real miracle in the world of handball.
It was held in France while the Egyptian team became the second group after the performance of more than a wonderful witness to the loss of the most powerful team in the group. Egypt then won a victory and became familiar with the Algerian team in the role of 16 opponent of the Russian bear in the quarterfinals in a match The sons of the Pharaohs made a breathtaking demonstration and a victory historical with a score of 21-19.
Egypt became a modern world at the time after the miraculous qualification as the first non-European team to reach the gold category at the World Handball Cup.
The Egyptian team faced off against the field owners and the audience in the semifinals and had a great performance in a match that gave rise to an argument, but after the loss of the dream of qualifying for the final team, Zoran finished fourth in the middle of a promising team of international renown.
The Egyptian team of the 2001 World Cup was composed of Hamada Al-Naqib, Hamada Al-Rubi, Marwan Ragab, Hazem Awwad, Ashraf Awwad, Ahmad Al-Attar, Hussein Zaki, Ahmed Bilal, Saeed Hussein, Mohammed Abdul Ghani Saber Hussain, Ayman Al-Alfi, Sherif Mo & Death. Al Majd – Ahmed Salem – Jawhar Nabil
Davies and Hope:
Since the historic completion of 2001, the Egyptian team has not played the role of the 16 in eight consecutive actions and despite the presentation of solid performances most of the time, but the final result is disappointing even in the Serbian state Zoran II.
After Marwan Rajab failed to lead Egypt to a new World Cup Final in 2017 and the defeat of Africa last year, the Spaniard David Davis took over the technical direction of the Pharaohs.
Davies is technical director for the first time before officially taking over Egypt in May and then being appointed technical director of the Hungarian company Telecom Vizbrem.
Davies and his assistant, led by former duo Hussein Zaki and Hani Fakhrani, hope to create a new Egyptian handball or at least equip a strong team for the 2021 World Cup to be held in Egypt.
Davies revealed in previous statements to FilGoal.com that despite changing the qualifying system of the group stage, which made the task more difficult, but he wanted to reach as far as possible the Pharaohs at the World Cup.
