Hosting major sports tournaments can confer prestige on a country, but in the case of Egypt, the 2021 Handball World Championship will do little to repair relations with either the United States, Italy, or the Arab Gulf states, argues James M. Dorsey

Sunday, 17 January 2021
Hungary were among the teams to reach the main round of the International Handball Federation (IHF) Men’s Handball World Championship after a comprehensive win against Uruguay.

th of October City in Group A.
That was the only match played in the group today following the cancellation of the fixture between Cape Verde and Germany because positive coronavirus tests left the African nation unable to field a team.
Germany were awarded a 10-0 win by walkover while Cape Verde called up extra players to ensure they were not thrown out of the competition – which could happen if they miss three matches.

Egypt's search for a fig leaf: It's not the Handball World Championship

Modern Diplomacy

Hosting major sports tournaments can confer prestige on a country, but in the case of Egypt, the 2021 Handball World Championship will do little to repair its relations with the US, Italy and states in the Gulf, argues James M. Dorsey in this analysis.
***
Egyptian general-turned president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi sees the 2021 men’s handball world championship in Cairo and Alexandria as an opportunity to put his best foot forward at a time when Egypt’s relations with its closest regional and global partners are encountering substantial headwinds.
Successful hosting of the championship, the first to involve 32 rather than 24 competing teams, would also serve to counter criticism of the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Egyptian health minister Hala Zayed recently admitted that many more Egyptians contracted the virus than the government has so far reported. A successful hosting would further put a crown in the feather of Egyptian-born International Handball Federation (IHF) president Hassan Moustafa.

Czech Republic withdraw on eve of Men’s World Handball Championship
Tuesday, 12 January 2021
North Macedonia has been drafted in as a late replacement for the Czech Republic on the eve of the International Handball Federation (IHF) Men’s World Championship in Egypt.
With one day to go before the competition is scheduled to get underway, the IHF has confirmed the Czech team asked to withdraw after returning several positive coronavirus test results before flying to Egypt.
The withdrawal is a blow to the Czech Republic, who were set to make their first appearance at the event since 2015 and a setback to organisers who are staging the tournament against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.
