Egypt has announced its withdrawal from both the Women’s and Men events of the African Games Brazzaville 2015.
In
accordance with Article 19 (B) of the regulations which states “If a
team withdraws after having qualified for the Final Tournament, but
before the actual start of the Final Tournament, the Organizing
Committee may replace it by the last team it has eliminated, if the
circumstances are favourable…” the two teams eliminated by Egypt in the
qualifiers, Senegal (Women) and Burundi (Men) also decided against
