The 9th All-Africa Games (Arabic: الألعاب الأفريقية التاسعة; French: 9e Jeux africains), also known as Algiers 2007 (Arabic: الجزائر 2007), took place from 11 to 23 July 2007 in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria.
Algiers became the first city to hold All-Africa Games for a second time.
[1] [2] The following 24 sports were competed: Paralympic sports: Athletics, Basketball and Goalball Three disciplines, Baseball, Softball and Field Hockey were dropped by the hosts, since these sports are hardly played in Algeria and consequently lack suitable facilities.

[4] Water Polo was not competed due to lack of teams.
