The Egypt Ice Hockey Experience 2021 (EIHE 2021) kicked off in Cairo on Monday 25/10/2021, with a number of European and American teams taking part.

The Egyptian ice hockey team is also participating in the three-day tournament, which is organized by Egypt Ice Hockey and Egypt Winter Sports, and held under the patronage of the Egyptian Sports Ministry in partnership with the Egyptian National Olympic Committee (ENOC) and Canada’s Friendship League.

Canadian Ambassador in Cairo Louis Dumas attended the inauguration ceremony together with representatives of the participating teams of Egypt, the US, Canada, Switzerland, France, Germany and Britain.

“The idea of promoting Egypt as the perfect destination for sports tourism, youth tourism and hosting international sports events is exactly in line with our mission.

We have been dedicated toward the promotion of winter sports in Egypt and we are confident that our dream of seeing the Egyptian flag being waved at the Winter Olympics will soon be a reality,” said Nancy Abdel Hadi, Co-Founder and CEO of International Business & Investment Services (IBIS), event co-organizers for EIHE 2021.
