In the high-stakes world of professional sports, peak performance is impossible without world-class medical support. Behind every medal, every goal, and every record-breaking match lies a foundation of health and scientific expertise. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on one of the central figures ensuring Egyptian athletes receive the best care possible: Prof. Dr. Yasser Hosny Abdelrahman.
Recently, federations like the Egyptian Squash Federation have publicly committed to enhancing their medical systems, aiming to provide elite healthcare aligned with international professional standards. This shift highlights the critical need for top-tier leadership in sports medicine—the kind of leadership Dr. Yasser Hosny exemplifies every day.
Dr. Yasser is not just a medical professional; he is a cornerstone of the Egyptian sporting infrastructure. His extensive resume reflects a deep dedication to both cardiology and the specialized field of sports medicine, bridging the gap between athlete health and athletic achievement.
His current roles are a testament to his expertise and the trust placed in him across the highest levels of sports administration in Egypt and beyond.
A Profile of Excellence: Prof. Dr. Yasser Hosny Abdelrahman
Currently serving as a Professor of Cardiology and Sports Medicine at Benha University, Dr. Yasser holds pivotal positions that influence nearly every aspect of Egyptian sports:
- Strategic Leadership: He serves as the Advisor to the Minister of Youth and Sports for Sports Medicine, guiding national policy on athlete health.
- Olympic Level Care: He is a key member of the Medical Committee and the Official for Training and Medical Education at the Egyptian Olympic Committee.
- Federation Heads: He leads from the front as the Head of the Medical Committee for both the Egyptian Handball Federation and the Egyptian Triathlon Federation.

When federations announce they are assembling “elite specialists” to raise the bar for athletic performance and safety, Dr. Yasser Hosny is the caliber of professional they are talking about.
Having a figure with his knowledge in cardiology and comprehensive sports medicine overseeing these committees gives tremendous confidence to athletes, coaches, and fans alike. It ensures that Egypt’s sporting heroes are not just training hard, but are also being protected by the best medical minds in the field.
We extend our appreciation to Dr. Yasser for his tireless work behind the scenes, keeping the heart of Egyptian sports beating strong.
