Egypt won its first Olympics medal in a kicking sport when Egypt's Youth Futsal team took bronze in the men's event. Egypt was also able to mark their first Olympics medals in karate and boxing.

It is also noteworthy that Egypt was able to set these records despite sending a record low amount of Olympians to participate (compared to 2010 and 2014 Youth Olympics).

Egypt was ranked 22nd out of 93 nations in the final medals table.
