Fall 2019 was a busy one for AUC Eagles. Starting with sports tryouts that took place from September 8 to September 20, where over 700 AUC students showed up to try out for our 21 sports teams of which 300 athletes were selected. An orientation meeting was held for the new and existing athletes to familiarize them with their coaches, staff, SAAC representatives, and what is expected of them for the semester.

AUC's office of Athletics sent five teams to this year’s Euroijada Sports Tournament held in Berlin. Teams who participated are; men and women’s basketball, men and women’s volleyball, and women’s futsal. The competition was fierce, with over 70 universities participating for all sports in the tournament, but our women’s basketball and futsal teams managed to place 2nd. AUC's office of athletics congratulates the teams who have won and appreciates all the teams who have participated, wishing them the best in their future endeavors.

On October 26, 2019, the Office of Athletics, along with the Student-Athletes Advisory Committee (SAAC), hosted their annual Special Olympics event at the AUC sports complex in new Cairo. The American University in Cairo office of athletics started their relationship with special Olympics back in 2014, where AUC sponsors their games by hosting most of their sports events.
