The women's basketball team lost to Senegal 78-63 at the end of the African Championship group stage matches.

The meeting witnessed a late Egyptian awakening in the second and third periods, but it was not completed and ended with the victory of the Senegalese team.

Senegal, the runner-up for the last two editions, is the historical champion of the African Women's Championship with 11 titles, 4 titles different from its closest competitor, and has not missed throughout its history from the semi-finals.

 

The Egyptian women's team won the title in the first two editions, in 1966 and 1968.

 

The first period of the match ended with Senegal leading 21-15 before the Senegalese team continued its superiority and ended the second quarter with a score of 39-25.

The Egyptian team performed its best performance in the third and fourth periods, as the third period ended in favor of Egypt 19-18 and the fourth for Senegal, with a score of 21-19.

Thus, the women's team finished the group stage competitions in second place, after winning against Guinea 102-58 and losing to Senegal.

 

The Egyptian women's team will play Tunisia on Wednesday to compete for the qualification for the quarter-finals, while Senegal ensures its presence in the quarter-finals directly.

If the women's team passes the Tunisian team, it will play in the quarter-finals with the first group in the first between Cameroon and Kenya.
