A core part of the celebrated Egyptian generation, Ahmed Hesham has written his name into the history books with achievements like the country’s first Olympic semi-final in any team sport and as the MVP when the U19 national team won the first Youth World Championship title in 2019. And the name, Hesham, is everything, as it belonged to his late father, who passed away suddenly when Ahmed was a child. Ahmed chooses to wear his father’s name on his jersey and every step in his career has been motivated by doing his father and his handball family proud.
