The Egyptian national team, the top contender for the title of the 25th Arab Championship currently taking place at the Cairo Stadium halls, has secured the top spot in the tough Group B with a significant victory over their Tunisian counterparts, winning by 22 points with a score of 85/63. They achieved a perfect record in the first three rounds and are now awaiting their match against the fourth-placed team in Group A, likely Mauritania, in the quarterfinals. Tunisia maintained the second position in this group. Observers and experts in the game do not rule out the possibility of a rematch between the Pharaohs and the Tunisians in the final unless a surprise occurs from Group A, which still holds its cards close to its chest until the decisive stages of the tournament.
Four matches will conclude the preliminary round tomorrow, with a crucial encounter between the UAE and Kuwait. The preliminary round will come to a close on Saturday, noting that teams in Group A qualified automatically for the quarterfinals through a draw, while the fifth-placed team from Group B will be eliminated. The final scene of this round includes Somalia against Libya starting at noon local time, followed by Algeria and Mauritania at 2:30 PM in the same group, while the UAE's white team faces Kuwait's blue team at 5 PM in a decisive match related to determining the fourth and fifth positions in the tough group.
