I would have thought Morocco  would place better with more gold than 9.

 

Also, Egypt  first time a nation wins 100+ gold medals in one edition. Impressive!

Historically, Morocco has not had a good relationship with the African Games due to its stance on Western Sahara. It was only in 2019 that they were allowed to return.
