Egypt has pulled out of next month’s All Africa Games football events for both men and women, according to the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
There was no official explanation for the decision of Egypt to withdraw from the events.
Burundi (men) and Senegal (women) who were eliminated by Egypt in the qualifiers were readmitted to the competition but declined because the notice was too short, africanFootball.com reports.
This means that Group B of the men’s event will feature only three teams – Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal, while Group B of the women’s event will also feature three teams – Cameroon, Ghana and South Africa.
The tournament will be staged in Congo Brazzaville from September 6 to 18.
