The African Youth Games, scheduled for July 9 to 18, 2018 in Algiers, inspire certain fears in the Algerian media. The website of the French-speaking daily El Watan notes that the preparation of the event is currently taking place amid general indifference in Algeria, without the slightest promotion. “10 months before the JAJ, no meeting of the organizing committee was held, points out El Watan. There have been reports recently of the appointment of former president of the Algerian Tennis Federation (FAT), Abdelhalim Azzi, as director of these Games, but there has been nothing official until now. » The daily also explains that several strategic questions, including places to accommodate athletes, have not yet been resolved.
