That's disappointing  Just let Senegal or Mali or some other country sort of south of the Saraha but north of South Africa host it and you won't have a high enough number for the atmosphere (ok, not a significantly higher score for information and overall organization, but still, I prefer atmosphere  )

After claiming not ready for 2026 Commonwealth Games last year, suddenly the State of Selangor offers to be the main host if Malaysia proceed to bid.

Still: Morocco stepped in as an alternative for several other countries. Even after Morocco did not participate in recent African Games. Better something than nothing? Many other multi sport events haven't been held in recent years: West Asian Games, Arab Games, East Asian Games etc.

 

What African countries could stage these Games in the near future?

South Africa (they sent a relative small group of athletes because of financial issues)

Algeria (facilities are being built for the MedGames in Oran)

Nigeria

Ghana (really?)

Egypt

Tunesia

Senegal (build a huge basketball arena) & Mali (are you serious?)

Equatorial Guinea (former selected host, but no history in sports), must have been a joke....

Congo (to soon again)

Kenya

 

Some possibilities, but I think these Games are in serious doubt....like European Games, Universiad and (too) many other Games.

Would make perfect sense for them to host in 2023. @bestmen start campaigning . In all seriousness, I think  could pull it off.

I also wouldn’t count out a country like , , or
