The Egypt national ice hockey team (Arabic: منتخب مصر لهوكي الجليد) is the national ice hockey team of Egypt. Egypt is not a member of the IIHF and does not have a national ice hockey governing body, but has competed internationally including at the 2023 Arab Cup. Currently, as there is no official National Egyptian Ice Hockey team the unofficial group of players from youth to adult generally compete under the private moniker entitled Egypt Ice Hockey. [1][2][3]

History

Ice hockey in Egypt was first played recreationally in 2002 at the Maadi Family Land Ice Rink in Cairo. Beginning in 2016, an unofficial club team representing Egypt, the Pharaohs, has played against other club teams in the region, including at the 2018 and 2020 Arab Club Championship.[4][5][6] The Pharaohs also competed in and won Division II of the 2022 Amerigol LATAM Cup, a tournament for teams mostly from Latin America and the Caribbean. The team is often registered as the Egypt Ice Hockey Club. A preliminary membership group consisting of managing members aiming to increase ice hockey exposure in Egypt was appointed officially by the Egyptian Olympic Committee which is an extension of the cabinet level Egyptian government. No official federation has been registered and no full sized IIHF approved rink exists in Egypt today. [7][8]

Egypt's first game as an official national team was at the 2023 Arab Cup in Kuwait, where they lost to Oman 9–4.[9] The second game against the eventual Arab Cup champion, Lebanon, was their biggest international loss (7–0). Egypt's third game was supposed to be against Saudi Arabia, but their opposition was unofficially represented at the tournament by Jeddah Eagles. Jeddah Eagles still played their scheduled game against Egypt on 10 May 2023, resulting the club lose 7–0. However, the Egyptian national team's win against club or "B" team did not count towards Egypt's official international record.[10]
