The Egyptian Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. Ashraf Sobhi, appointed Dr. Hanan Youssef and Mr. Arafa Ali as Vice-Presidents of Emad al-Banani, the current chair of the General Egyptian Sport for All Federation.
Sobhi has issued Ministerial Resolution No. 1630 of 2024, restructuring the General Egyptian Sport for all Federation’s Board of Directors.
As the first woman to hold such a post, her appointment is considered a milestone in recognizing women’s contributions to sports.
It is worth noting that Dr Youssef has been a key figure in the federation since its inception in 2008, with 16 years of dedicated experience in promoting the concept of “sports for all” as a lifestyle.
She has also championed initiatives supporting women athletes and advancing sports media.
Notably, she chaired the official Egyptian delegation that achieved a groundbreaking victory in the 2024 World Cup for Development Goals, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Egypt’s first-ever win in this global event showcased the nation’s sporting excellence on the world stage.
