Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallists Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan will take on Italians Paolo Nicolai and Samuele Cottafava in their opening match at the Paris 2024 Games.
The Pool A match will take place on July 27 at the foot of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, starting at midnight (Qatar time). Cheirf and Tijan, who three years ago clinched the country’s first medal in beach volleyball, are pooled alongside the world’s number one men’s pair, Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, as well as Australia’s Izac Carracher.
Cherif and Ahmed qualified for the Paris Games, thanks to their impressive world ranking. The former world No.1 pair, Cherif and Ahmed are currently ranked 14th in the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
This will be Qatar’s third appearance in beach volleyball at Olympics as the top Asian pair aims to excel among the best in the world.
