The curtain falls today, Monday, in the halls complex in Cairo Stadium, on the 13th Arab Basketball Women’s Championship, and the final will be held between the Egyptian and Moroccan teams to determine the champion of the new version, at 18:30 local time, preceded by the Algerian and Kuwait teams at 16:00 to determine the winning team for the bronze medal. Despite the game experts nominating the owners of the land by a very large percentage due to their high technical capabilities and the presence of an abundance of bench players, the Moroccan national team will not give up easily despite the severe loss it suffered in the preliminary round against the same team, with a result of 81/58, and the common denominator between the two teams is that they both have a playmaker considered the main axis on which each party relies to reach the basket of its competitor and achieve victory. In the Egyptian national team Thuraya Mohamed, the team leader, remains the trump card and the key to victory. The same words apply to the playmaker, Zahra Wajih. So, who wins the bet in the end, Thuraya or Zahra?
On the other hand, the Algerian team is looking forward to repeating the same scene of the preliminary round, noting that the result of the previous match was in favor of the Algerian team 88/41
The semi-final round resulted in Egypt's victory over Kuwait 99/32 and Morocco over Algeria 78/67, where the meeting was attended by Major General M. Ismail Al Karqawi, President of the Arab and Emirati Basketball Federations, Dr. Magdi Abu Freikha and Nadim Hakim, Vice Presidents of the Arab Federation, and a number of members of the Arab and Egyptian federations.
