Will the next edition of the African Youth Games take place in Algeria? Officially, the event is still planned for Algiers, the capital, from July 19 to 29, 2018. But according to the site ElWatan.com, preparation is currently at a standstill. No meeting of the organizing committee, chaired by the Minister of Youth and Sports, El Hadi Ould Ali, is planned, and the headquarters of this committee is deserted. The IOC had decided that the African Youth Games would serve as a qualifying event for the 2018 YOG in Buenos Aires. But the Algerian news site understands that several international federations have already decided to plan a plan B in other countries.
