On March 18 and 19, Kingdom Ultimate (KU) travelled to Alexandria in Egypt to participate in one of the region’s biggest Ultimate Frisbee tournaments, the 2022 Egyptian Open. Over two days, 15 teams competed for a chance to be crowned regional champions. KU advanced all the way to the semifinals and were defeated by the eventual champs. KU won the bronze medal and placed third out of 15 teams. KU also bolstered some individual awards. The top-scoring player and the top assisting player of the entire tournament. This was the first time both top scoring and top assisting players were a part of the same team.
We look forward to the next tournament, where we will build upon our accomplishments and aim to make it all the way to the finals and bring home the gold!
