Egypt Daily News – The Egyptian handball just beat Argentina 34-27 in the final round of the group stage at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant achievement for them. The match saw the Egyptian team recover from a narrow deficit at halftime, where they were trailing 15-14.
With this win, Egypt has secured a total of 7 points, placing them in second position in their group. Previously, they qualified for the quarter-finals after a close victory against Norway (26-25) in the last round.
Now, the Egyptian team is hoping for a favorable outcome in the upcoming match between Denmark and Norway. A win or a draw for Denmark would ensure that Egypt maintains its second-place position in the group. If that happens, Egypt will face the third-placed team from the first group in the quarter-finals.
Conversely, if Norway defeats Denmark, Egypt would drop to third place and subsequently face the second-placed team from the first group, which consists of strong contenders like Sweden, Germany, Slovenia, Spain, Croatia, and Japan. The next match will be crucial for determining the Egyptian team’s path in the knockout stage of the tournament.
