Wael Badr (Arabic: وائل بدر; born 1 December 1978) is an Egyptian retired basketball player and current coach.[1] He is the current head coach of Zamalek of the Egyptian Basketball Premier League. Badr is a former player of the Egypt national basketball team.
Club career
[edit]Badr began his career with Zamalek, and later signed with Gezira for the 2009–10 season.[2] He played his final three seasons for Sporting Alexandria.
National team career
[edit]Badr played with the Egypt national basketball team and participated at FIBA AfroBasket in 2007, 2009 and 2013.[3] Badr averaged 10.6 PPG and 3.1 APG as one of the few consistent performers on the 2009 Egypt team that finished a disappointing tenth place; this was Egypt's worst ever finish in 19 appearances at the tournament and had some fans calling for a complete dismantling of the team.[3][4] He also played in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, his last tournament before retiring from national team duty.
