Membership, players, rankings and rinks are the figures each federation reports to the IIHF, as shown on its iihf.com member page in November 2026. The 2027 tournaments are the IIHF’s own entry lists. Amber marks the side that is ahead.

The difference

How they compare

On paper these are two young hockey nations. Oman joined the IIHF as an associate member in 2014 and reports 112 registered players and three IIHF-size indoor rinks, although its skating committee said in October 2025 that the country lacks an international-standard facility. Neither country has a world ranking or a team entered for the 2027 World Championships. Egypt is not yet a member; the Egyptian Hockey League is pursuing recognition.

On the ice, Oman has had the better of it. Its clubs won the women’s, open and Arab titles at the 2026 Union Classic in Al Ain, and its federation, the Oman Skating Sports Committee, runs a national championship that reached its sixth edition in February 2026.

The Cairo Nomads played Omani sides five times at that Union Classic and won once, 7–0 over Majan. Two of the four losses went to a shootout, including the Men’s MENA final, which Majan won 5–4.
