Believe or not, Egypt won third consecutive Youth African Champs :!:

, this time they beat Angola clearly by six goals :shock:

Angola lost its top position in African younger age categories for good, failing to win gold at both U19s and U17s this summer.
Tunisia clinched bronze before Guinea just thanks to the better goal difference. Another great result for GUI young team after their bronze juniors (U19) qualified for the JWCh. Seems very promising for the future women's handball activities in Guinea.
