Egypt's SODIC Water Polo Team Makes History with Double Victory at Global Youth Tournament in Italy - Omni sports
Egypt's Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, has congratulated the SODIC water polo team on its unprecedented double triumph at the prestigious 'Haba Waba' International Championship, held recently in Italy. The team clinched first place in both the 2014 and 2016 birth-year categories at the tournament, widely regarded as the youth World Cup of water polo, which featured over 60 teams from around the world. This dual victory marks a historic milestone: since the tournament's inception in 2008, no team had ever claimed both age categories in the same year. Several European sports outlets highlighted the achievement as a sign of Egypt's rising influence in international youth water polo and a testament to the country's strategic investment in grassroots sports. Minister Sobhy noted that the victory reflects not only the talent and commitment of Egyptian athletes but also Egypt's growing stature on the global sports stage. He praised the players and coaching staff for their outstanding performance, underscoring the success of national sports development programs. This latest triumph builds on SODIC's earlier achievements this year, including victories in the Haba Waba tournaments held in Spain for the 2013 and 2015 age groups. In 2023, the club's 2013 team also secured the title at the Italian edition, demonstrating consistent excellence across multiple age brackets and international events. The delegation was led by Captain Hesham Saif, with Ahmed Adel serving as head coach. The technical team also included Abdel Rahman Fawzy, Mostafa Gamal, Mohamed Abou Gabal, Mohamed El Afandy, and Mohamed Bakhit. Their leadership and structured training methods played a crucial role in preparing the young athletes both physically and mentally to compete at the highest level. SODIC's continued dominance in the Haba Waba Championships underscores the value of long-term sports planning, international exposure, and strong institutional support for youth development. As Egypt solidifies its standing in the global water polo arena, such victories serve as a source of national pride and a powerful inspiration for future generations of athletes.

Egypt launches national initiative to combat sudden cardiac death
Egypt has launched a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about sudden cardiac death and improve the country's emergency healthcare response through widespread training in the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). The campaign, unveiled on Sunday, reflects a coordinated effort by the Ministries of Health and Youth and Sports to prevent cardiac-related fatalities and build community-based resilience. The announcement was made during an official ceremony held at the Olympic Center in Maadi, Cairo, attended by Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Youth and Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhy, senior healthcare officials, and leading cardiologists. 'This initiative represents a critical step forward in preventing sudden cardiac arrests within the community,' said Abdel Ghaffar, noting that an estimated 55,000 people in Egypt die each year from sudden cardiac arrest, with around 20% of these cases caused by ventricular fibrillation. He emphasized that timely intervention with an AED can raise survival rates to over 90%. The initiative includes training personnel across government institutions and youth centers, equipping them with the skills needed to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies. Abdel Ghaffar also announced the development of a mobile application to provide users with step-by-step guidance on using AEDs, performing CPR, and responding to emergencies. Youth and Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhy underscored the importance of integrating AEDs and trained responders into sports venues across the country. 'We must ensure that all sports clubs and federations implement regular emergency response training programmes, especially during athletic competitions,' he said. As part of the broader strategy, the initiative also includes mandatory routine and specialized medical screenings for athletes to detect potential heart conditions before they escalate. Mohamed Sobhy, president of the Scientific Foundation for Cardiology and Arteries, praised the initiative for reflecting 'a comprehensive scientific approach to reducing mortality from cardiac arrest.' He noted that the programme is in line with international best practices and includes a strong emphasis on training and deploying AEDs in public areas. Hazem Khamis, head of the medical committee at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, highlighted the critical importance of AED accessibility, stating that 'having defibrillators available in public spaces during the first few minutes of cardiac arrest can be the difference between life and death.' The initiative has received strong support from both public and private sectors, including the Egyptian Red Crescent, the Scientific Foundation for Cardiology, sports clubs such as Wadi Degla, and multiple athletic federations. Together, these partners aim to foster a culture of preparedness and ultimately reduce preventable deaths from sudden cardiac events.
