Egypt won tickets to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after defeating Nigeria in the team event final at the 2023 ITTF African Championships in Tunis, Tunisia.

The Egyptian ladies were the first to choose their ticket after they defeated Nigeria 3-0 in the final.

Nigeria and Egypt were unbeaten from the start of the event, maintaining a perfect record without dropping a single set.

But it was the Egyptians who won the final, with Dina Meshref, Hana Goda, and Marwa Alhodaby defeating Fatimo Bello, Offiong Edem, and Olufunke Oshonaike.
