Three disciplines,Baseball,Softball andField Hockey were dropped by the hosts, since these sports are hardly played in Algeria and consequently lack suitable facilities.[3] The hockey competition would have doubled as qualifier for the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing, thusAfrican Hockey Federation organised aseparate olympic qualifying tournament inNairobi,Kenya, held simultaneously with the All-Africa Games.[4]
Water Polo was not competed due to lack of teams.[5] It was supposed to be an Olympic qualifier.
