Paralympic sports:

The hockey competition would have doubled as qualifier for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, thus African Hockey Federation organised a separate olympic qualifying tournament in Nairobi, Kenya, held simultaneously with the All-Africa Games [Ghana Hockey Association, April 20, 2007: " [http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/artikel.php?ID=122748 2007 All Africa Games - Hockey to be Played Simultaneously in Nairobi] "] .
Water Polo was not competed due to lack of teams [Mail & Guardian, July 9, 2007: " [http://www.mg.co.za/articlepage.aspx?area=/breaking_news/breaking_news__sport/&articleid=313423 Algeria ready for All Africa Games] "] . It was supposed to be an Olympic qualifier.
