Jawhar and Idriss are working on preparing the Olympic generation.. The Minister of Sports hosts them at the Olympic Committee.
Jawhar Nabil, the Minister of Youth and Sports, held a coordination meeting with Yasser Idris, the President of the Egyptian Olympic Committee, and members of the committee's board at the Egyptian Olympic Committee headquarters. They discussed the final preparations for the national teams and their training programs for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics in Senegal and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Today's meeting continued the fruitful cooperation between the ministry, the Olympic Committee, and the sports federations, with a clear goal: to start preparing future champions now. The Olympics do not begin at the start of competition, and medals are not achieved on the podium; there is a long story that precedes it—planning, preparation, training camps, interaction, and the integration of roles.
In this context, Jawhar Nabil praised the results achieved by the Egyptian delegation at the Mediterranean Games in Italy, where the Pharaohs won 58 various medals.
The Minister of Youth and Sports believes this achievement confirms that Egyptian sports are steadily progressing towards more successes, especially with the significant development in the training programs for national teams. However, the 58 medals are not the end of the story; they are a milestone, and from here, a new journey begins.
From 58 Medals to Dakar and Los Angeles
Jawhar Nabil emphasized that the upcoming phase requires the collaboration of all sports institutions and working according to well-studied and clear plans to ensure the best possible preparation for male and female athletes. The reason is that major dates are approaching: Dakar 2026, then Los Angeles 2028.
These two events require early work and preparation that matches the size of Egyptian ambition. Jawhar Nabil confirmed that the ministry will continue to support the national teams and provide all necessary resources for players and coaching staff, contributing to achieving the goals of Egyptian sports and raising the Egyptian flag at various international forums.
Integration Makes the Difference
For his part, Yasser Idris welcomed the ongoing cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, affirming that the upcoming phase requires the integration of efforts between the ministry, the Olympic Committee, and the sports federations. A champion is not made by one entity, and an achievement does not come from a single institution; it is an integrated system where each party knows its role, and every step serves the next one.
Idris explained that the committee is working on developing comprehensive training plans for national teams, preparing champions capable of competing strongly in the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
The Mediterranean: Fuel for the Next Phase
Yasser Idris, the President of the Olympic Committee, confirmed that the results achieved at the Mediterranean Games represent a strong motivation to continue working and developing the levels of male and female athletes. The 58 medals are not just a harvest; they are a message that efforts bear fruit and that the path is correct, but the journey is not over yet.
At the same time, the Olympic Committee, based on the directives of Minister of Youth and Sports Captain Jawhar Nabil, continues to monitor the training programs, camps, and international competitions for the teams in the upcoming period to enhance the technical and physical readiness of the athletes and provide them with the necessary experiences before the major events.
Idris stressed the importance of continuing coordination with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the sports federations to ensure the best technical and physical preparation for the athletes, enhancing the ability of Egyptian sports to achieve outstanding results in the upcoming international events.
The Olympic Generation: The Story Begins Now
Thus, Egyptian sports move from 58 medals at the Mediterranean Games to a bigger dream: Dakar 2026, then Los Angeles 2028. Between the medal achieved and the medal we aspire to, there are years of work because the podium only sees one moment. However, creating a champion requires a lifetime of planning, training, and patience. Today, Jawhar Nabil and Yasser Idris are planning, and tomorrow, the champions will speak on the podiums.
