History
Ice hockey in Egypt was first played recreationally in 2002 at the Maadi Family Land Ice Rink in Cairo. Beginning in 2016, a club ice hockey team representing Egypt, the Pharaohs, has played against other club teams in the region, including at the 2018 and 2020 Arab Club Championship.[1][2][3] 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.[4][5]
Egypt's first official game as a national team was at the 2023 Arab Cup in Kuwait, where they lost to Oman 9–4.[6]
