Minister of Youth and Sports Ashraf Sobhy has directed the Egyptian Canoe and Kayak Federation (ECKF) to fully review the procedures taken during the training session, according to the ministry.
Earlier on Sunday, the ECKF reported that Mostafa's boat had overturned during training on the Nile near Abu El-Feda Street in Cairo's Zamalek district.
Search teams subsequently recovered the athlete's boat and paddle.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
The ministry did not disclose Mostafa's age or club affiliation. However, it said he trained with the Electricity Club.
