Tarek Mahrous, Al Ahly men’s team handball head coach, spoke following the team’s victory over Zamalek SC, which led Al Ahly to win the Egyptian Cup.

In his post match interview, Mahrous thanked Mahmoud El Khatib, Al Ahly’s President, for providing his full support to the team in the last period, especially after our handball team lost the league title to Zamalek SC earlier this month.

"Winning the Egyptian Cup shows that we have a very strong team that is able to win trophies. This title is very dear to my heart, given that it came in a very crucial time."

“We managed to defeat a difficult opponent in the final of the competition. Our fans deserve to celebrate today’s victory, as the team pulled up one of their best performances in the season.”

Mahrous concluded that the coaching staff is currently working on building a strong generation of handball players that are able to represent Al Ahly in the future.
