Since their victory over Nigeria at Maputo 2011 in Mozambique, the Egyptian women, led by Meshref, have maintained their stronghold in the event, asserting themselves as the continent’s top female team.
Historically, Nigeria has clinched the women’s title seven times from 1978 to 2007. However, Egypt’s ascendancy in the women’s event began in 2011, marking a shift in the dynamics of table tennis dominance on the continent.
