    Well I dont have the money to get to Egypt on my own and I am trying to find more of a guarantee then just showing up on my own. this is why I am continuing my search for an agent. Would you happen to know which teams are currently interested in a combo guard like me?

    Yo Wf5!
    If things don't work out for u in Egypt, why don't u try ur luck in Lebanon?
    We have one of the best leagues in Asia and the pay is good if u can impress the coaches during tryouts (currently ongoing).
    If u have any questions u can post ur queries on the Middle East Forums in Interbasket. There are a few members that might be able to help u out.

    "I am an American with Egyptian parents. I am looking for a career in basketball and just graduated college"
    This was posted in page 4 of this thread.
    I think he can either play as an American or as an Egyptian (if he has dual nationality).
    Ismail Ahmad is Egyptian and he plays as a foreigner with Riyadi so there shouldn't be any problems.

    Hi there Soliman,
    I am interested in basketball in Egypt and you seem to know a lot about it, so I was hoping you could answer a couple of quick questions.
    How much longer does this current superleague season run for?
    Are there actual finals series or is the winner determined by who is on top of the ladder at the end of the year?
    Do all the teams still have imports playing? I noticed the tall guy from Gezira isn't listed as still in the team. Have they replaced him?
    Do you know when next season is likely to start and finish?
    How long do teams usually get together before the season for pre-season training?
    Thankyou very much, I appreciate any response to these questions!

    - its a little bit complicated , we have 12 teams in the leauge , in the first round all teams play with each other (go-away) then the first six teams advances to compete in the super leauge (go - away) at last they play one Tournament in alex and another one in cairo and thats all in 6 months only!!!!

    -most of the teams still have imports only geziera released garth joseph due to his knee injury and his awful performance they didn"t replace hem because it"s not allowed after the month of february

    -i know absolutely nothing about the next season

    Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it! You said that Itthad won the championship. So the league is in break now until next season I take it?

    Dear Soliman,

    I have a friend of mine who is a proffessional basketball player and he is from Serbia, he played there his whole life and recently he has been playing in munich germany....
    he was thinking of coming here and maybe join the teams in Egypt such as Ahly or Zamalik...etc...

    from your extensive experience as a senior member...what are his chances of getting an opportunity to be hired as a player in the federation or in any club....would that be an easy thing to achieve?

    appreciate you getting back to me on this asap....


    Many thanks....

    Nina.
