The U-18 national handball team has qualified for the finals of the ongoing U-18 Africa Youth Handball Championship, thanks to a slim 35-34 victory over Morocco in a semi-final match that took place on Sunday evening at the BK Arena.<\/p>\n

Anaclet Bagirishya\u2019s boys won the first half of the game 18-14, but Morocco fought back in the second, scoring 20 goals though this was not enough to earn them victory.<\/p>\n

Rwanda will now play against Egypt at the finals that will take place on Tuesday September 6 at the BK Arena.<\/p>\n

Egypt reached the finals of the tournament after a convincing 66-22 victory over Burundi in a semi-final tie that took place on Sunday as well.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Morocco will face Burundi in the third place game on Tuesday at the same venue.<\/p>\n

The tournament brought together 8 teams from various countries on the continent, which were clustered in two groups.<\/p>\n

Group A comprised Morocco, Libya, Uganda and Burundi, while Group B had Rwanda, Egypt, Algeria and Madagascar.<\/p>\n

All the four teams that made it to the semi-finals (Rwanda, Egypt, Burundi and Morocco) earned an automatic ticket to participate in the Youth World Handball Championships to be held next year in Croatia.<\/p>\n
