Egypt have withdrawn their men’s U-23 team and women’s senior team from the 2015 All-African Games, which will be held from September 6-18 in Brazzaville.

Their men’s team was to compete in Group B with Nigeria’s Dream Team.

The Organising Committee of the games could replace a team with the opponent it eliminated, but Senegal (Women) and Burundi (Men) decided not to take up a spot because of the short notice period.

It means both the men’s and women’s competition will have one group of three teams and one group of four.
