In a thrilling matchup at the Homeless World Cup in Oslo, Egypt made history by becoming the first African team to reach the men’s final, defeating reigning champion Mexico 4-3 in a rain-soaked game on Saturday. The Egyptian team will face Portugal in the final tomorrow.

The North African team’s goalkeeper, Mohamed Hussein Badawy, played a crucial role in the victory, making several key saves to protect his net and secure his team’s spot in the semifinals. In the semifinal round, Egypt faced off against South Africa, a team that has captured the hearts of fans with their energetic performances throughout the tournament. South African captain Niyaaz Adriaanse scored the first goal from distance, but Egypt’s Mostafa Mohamed Ismael equalized with his skilled footwork and tireless energy.

This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better, with a wide range of teams participating.

In the women’s category, Mexico is aiming to win their eighth consecutive title and will face Uganda in the final. The Mexican team has consistently demonstrated their skills and dedication to the sport, and their upcoming match against Uganda is highly anticipated.
