Egypt showcased their pedigree in African basketball with a hard‑fought 77–70 victory over Uganda in the FIBA World Cup African Qualifiers on July 5, 2026. The win solidifies Egypt’s position near the top of Group B and moves them closer to securing a spot in the global tournament.
Match Overview
Uganda, known for their aggressive inside game and athleticism, challenged Egypt from the opening tip. The Silverbacks drew first blood, leading 21–19 after the first quarter. However, Egypt’s experience and tactical adjustments turned the tide in the second half. The home team, playing in Cairo, relied on strong team defense and efficient half‑court execution to grind out the win.
Key Moments
- First Half: Uganda’s forward Peter Muwonge dominated the paint early, scoring 12 points before halftime. Egypt trailed 41–39 at the break despite shooting 50% from the field.
- Third Quarter: Egypt unleashed a 25–15 burst, led by veteran guard Omar Abdel‑Aziz, who scored 10 points in the period. A 9‑0 run capped by a steal and fast‑break layup gave Egypt a 64–56 lead.
- Closing Stretch: Uganda cut the margin to four points with three minutes left, but Egypt’s composure at the free‑throw line (18/22 overall) and a crucial block by center Ahmed Metwally sealed the outcome.
Standout Performers
Egypt’s Omar Abdel‑Aziz finished with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, orchestrating the offense with veteran savvy. Forward Yasser El‑Gammal added a double‑double of 14 points and 11 boards. For Uganda, Peter Muwonge’s 20 points and 9 rebounds were not enough, as his team managed only 36% shooting in the second half. Turnovers proved costly for the Silverbacks, who gave the ball away 17 times.
Qualification Implications
Egypt improves to 4‑1 in the African Qualifiers, strengthening their grip on a World Cup berth. Uganda drops to 2‑3 and now faces an uphill battle in a group that also features established powerhouses like Angola and Senegal. The result underscores Egypt’s depth and resilience as they aim to represent Africa on the biggest stage.
