2007 Men’s Under 21 World
Championship:
Egypt starts preparation with
new blood
 Cairo,
Egypt, February 19-: Egypt men’s Under 21 team started the
active preparation to the 2007 World Championship of this age
category known to be held in Morocco in July 2007 under
supervision of the experienced head coach Sherif El-Shemerly.
The preparation starts with the participation in the Egyptian
first division league as the Egyptian Volleyball Federation
decided to consider the junior team as a separate team in the
league with all its club stars to gain the experience of playing
with the senior teams.
Morocco Junior team which also qualified to the world
championship will come to Egypt at the end of March for a
collective camp which will include 4 friendly matches between
both teams. This camp will be followed by another camp in Italy
during April with the participation in a tournament with some
national teams. Egypt will play then some friendly matches with
the substitutes of the first team in May when the players will
enter the exams of the end of the year thereafter.
The preparation will be finalized with the participation in a
four nations’ tour in Morocco with some of the final teams of
the World Championship.
“We hope to appear in the top form in the World Championship
although it will be held in a very critical time just after the
exams which mean we have a very narrow time for proper
preparation,” Said Egypt head coach. “We added some players from
the youth team under 19 to give them more experience as well as
using some talent players like the tall middle blocker Mamdouh
Abdel Monem (109 cm), the left attacker Ahmed Abdel Aal and the
setter Ahmed El Lakkani.” He added
