The All-Africa Games, sometimes called the African Games or the Pan African Games, are a regional multi-sport event
held every four years, organized by the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa.
The first Games were held in 1965 in Brazzaville, Congo. The International Olympic Committee granted official recognition
as a continental multi-sport event, along with the Asian Games and Pan American Games.
The second edition were awarded to Mali in 1969, but a military coup forced the cancellation of the Games.
