History

The Order of Sports was established by Governmental Law in 1954. The Order is conferred upon individuals in recognition of outstanding service to the Nation in the fields of sport. Qualifying service includes the outstanding athletic performance by Egyptian nationals or the training of sportsmen and women who have successfully represented Egypt in international arenas. Foreigners who have aided in the development of athletic standards in the United Arab Republic may also be eligible for the award. The Order is presented in 3 Classes. The Order may also have 3 associated medals, but research is needed.

The II Class is worn from a breast ribbon which features a ribbon rosette. The obverse displays an Arabic inscription which translates to “Sports.”

The II Class also features an engraving of the recipient’s name on the reverse.
