Egyptian Golf Star Reclaims Arab Championship Crown after Four-Year Absence

Egyptian national golf team star, Issa Abou El Ela, achieved a remarkable comeback by reclaiming the title of Arab Individual Champion after a four-year absence. His exceptional performance at the Arab Championship held in Morocco in July last year resulted in a gold medal win in the individual competition. The victory not only solidifies Abu El-Ala's status as a golfing sensation but also highlights Egypt's prowess in the sport.

The Path to Victory Issa Abou El Ela's journey to becoming the Arab Individual Champion was a testament to his unwavering determination and exceptional skills. Overcoming tough competition from 13 Arab countries, Abou El Ela's strategic gameplay and unwavering focus propelled him to the top of the leaderboard. This article delves into the thrilling moments and key highlights of his triumphant performance at the Arab Championship.

Abou El Ela finished the competition with a score of 211, just one stroke ahead of the Moroccan trio, who ranked second to fourth, consisting of Hugo Mazen, El Mahdi Fikoury, and Adam Briseno, each with a score of 212. The Moroccan Sofian Dahmani came in fifth with a score of 214, while our player, Dean Naeem, ranked sixth with a score of 217. Adam El Shamy, another Egyptian player, ranked eighth with a score of 221, and our youngest player, Mohamed Abou El Ela, who is 18 years old, ranked thirteenth with a score of 225.

Issa's victory marks his first Arab individual title, adding his name to the list of championship-winning stars.

This accomplishment was previously achieved by Egyptian golfers Mohamed El-Sayed, Ramy Tahir, Amr Abou El Ela, and Dean Naeem.

Egyptian Golf's Bright Future In the team competitions, the Moroccan national team won the title and the gold medal, while the Egyptian team secured the silver medal and second place. However, the performance of the Egyptian national team players, Issa, Dean, Adam, and Mohamed, was highly promising. The defending champion, the Tunisian team, finished in third place, followed by the United Arab Emirates in fourth place, and Qatar in fifth place. The remaining positions from sixth to twelfth were occupied by Bahrain, Libya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Palestine, the Saudi Arabia, the reigning champions of the 2021 edition, and Oman.

The Golf Federation's board of directors congratulated the national team players, praising their remarkable achievement, which is not surprising given the outstanding competition they faced against the exceptional Moroccan players in golf in the Arab and African regions.
