The 9th All-Africa Games took place between 11 and 23 July 2007 in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. Algiers is the first city to hold All-Africa Games for a second time. The 1978 All-Africa Games were held there. Besides Algeria, only Nigeria has hosted the event twice, but with different host cities. 4793 athletes took part to these games. == Competitions == The following 24 sports were competed: Paralympic sports: Athletics, Basketball and Goalball Three disciplines, Baseball, Softball and Field Hockey were dropped by the hosts, since these sports are hardly played in Algeria and consequently lack suitable facilities.〔Vanguard, 16 December 2006: ''(Africa Games pushed a week back *Hockey, baseball, softball fail to get back in )''〕 The hockey competition would have doubled as qualifier for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, thus African Hockey Federation organised a separate olympic qualifying tournament in Nairobi, Kenya, held simultaneously with the All-Africa Games.〔Ghana Hockey Association, 20 April 2007: ''(2007 All Africa Games - Hockey to be Played Simultaneously in Nairobi )''〕 Water Polo was not competed due to lack of teams.〔Mail & Guardian, 9 July 2007: ''(Algeria ready for All Africa Games )''〕 It was supposed to be an Olympic qualifier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 All-Africa Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
