Egypt youth diving team finishes fourth worldwide
The Egyptian national junior diving team achieved a historic accomplishment by finishing fourth internationally at the Croatia Championship held in Rijeka from August 21 to 29, 2026, with the participation of 17 countries from around the world. The duo of Aly Ahmed Essam (14 years old) and Hassan Hani (17 years old) managed to secure fourth place in synchronized diving, narrowly surpassing a German team. This marks the first time an Egyptian team under 18 has achieved such a global milestone, despite most of the players competing internationally for the first time. Coach Helmy Fawzy praised the players' performance, emphasizing that Egyptian diving boasts a strong global reputation. He also explained that 11 Egyptian athletes have received scholarships in the United States over the past three years thanks to their international achievements. Fawzy called for beginning preparations for the 2028 World Junior Championships in France by organizing training camps to enhance the players' skills and help them overcome the nerves of international competition, especially given their young ages.
