From obscurity to prime time: Women’s football hits the TV screen in Egypt

Women’s football in Egypt has gone from almost total obscurity to grabbing the spotlight, making a splash on national television for the very first time. This historic shift comes as Egyptian broadcasters are airing women’s matches—with enthusiastic commentary and growing fan interest—bringing thousands of new viewers to a sport that, until now, received little to no coverage. The broadcast debut represents a major milestone not just for women athletes but also for the broader movement toward gender equality in Egyptian sports. Players and supporters alike are excited, noting how the new TV coverage is helping change attitudes and generate recognition for talented women who’ve long played in the shadows. This increased visibility is inspiring young girls and encouraging more participation at local clubs.
