The Egyptian Minister of Sports honors “Hassouna” who ignited social media platforms

generosity Egyptian Minister of Youth and Sports Johar Nabil, Olympic champion Abdullah Hassouna, who won the gold medal in the African Junior Wrestling Championship.

The reception came as part of the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports’ efforts to support champions and celebrate successful models that achieve wide public resonance, which contributes to motivating youth and spreading sports culture.

Nabil praised the technical and physical level presented by the player, stressing that Hassouna not only achieved the gold medal, but also succeeded in creating a state of public passion that reflects the Egyptian athlete’s ability to shine and star.

The Egyptian Minister also stressed that this achievement represents a model of a champion who combines spirit, presence, and performance, declaring the Ministry’s continued sponsorship of promising talents and providing all means of support and assistance to them in various sports.

Hassouna, who won gold in the African U-17 Wrestling Championship, sparked a wide wave of global admiration after the exceptional shot in the final match of the tournament that took place in Alexandria.

The 16-year-old young player succeeded in turning the tables on his Tunisian rival in historic moments documented by a video clip published by the International Wrestling Federation, which received more than 11 million views in record time on social media platforms.

The video clip showed a remarkable tactical intelligence skill from Hassouna, who appeared to be in a position of complete surrender in front of his opponent, which gave the Tunisian wrestler the illusion that the fight was close, but the Egyptian player surprised everyone with a very precise and fast counter-move, which turned the outcome in his favor and gave him well-deserved gold.
