Sport has no racial, social or political barriers, which means that it is the perfect way for all men and women, boys and girls to achieve amazing results, regardless of race, creed or colour.

The opportunity to represent one’s country in the name of sport at an international level is probably one of the greatest achievements an individual can make.

The pressure that the competitors have at this level is enormous, and goes far beyond normal physical endurance. To win, especially at such a high level, competitors will have to tap into inner resources that their years of training will have prepared them for.

Come to see charming City Cairo, friendly people, history and where Africa meets Europe, fair accommodation offers, excellent Arabic food, famous fish, pastry and cakes and a real great World Championship in Egypt.

This is was you get in Cairo

Egypt welcomes you
