On May 2, 2019, the Office of Athletics hosted the first Eagles Awards Banquet, which we hope will become an annual tradition here at AUC. We had the opportunity to celebrate the success of our student-athletes on and off the field for the academic year 2018 – 2019. It was an incredible evening, the students came dressed in their finest, the room was beautiful, and our staff did a tremendous job in refurbishing ARTOC sports court to make it look and feel like an All-American Sports Banquet.

Haydy Morsy, an AUC sophomore, and pentathlete won first place at the 2019 Pentathlon African Championships last month, qualifying her for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

The American University in Cairo's Office of Athletics sponsored 20 varsity sports teams with 250 athletes both men and women last fall. It was a busy semester for the department and a very exciting one too. Starting with the tryouts on September 5, 2018, then weekly friendly games with universities and clubs all over Egypt including; the Arab Academy for Science Technology and Maritime Transport, The German University in Cairo and Heliopolis club.
