The Best: 2020 CAHB Men’s African Championship

After Egypt beat the hosts in the final of the 2020 CAHB Men’s African Championship in Tunisia last weekend, the All-star Team was announced, with eight players receiving their awards on court.

Egypt’s Mohammad Sanad, who plays his club handball for USAM Nimes Gard in France, was named best right wing, while teammate Ali Zein, who plays for Sharjah, was named best left back. Telekom Veszprem’s Yahia Omar made it three players in the best seven for the title winners as he was voted in as the best right back.

That was not the end of the awards for Egypt though as Zamalek’s Yehia El Deraa was voted in as overall best player of the championship, with the left back taking the MVP award.
