Botswana at the 2007 All-Africa Games

Botswana competed in the 2007 All-Africa Games held at the Stade du 5 Juillet in the city of Algiers, Algeria.

The team was particularly successful in athletics, winning five gold medals in track and field events as well as beating the continental record in the T46 200 metres sprint.

Botswana first competed the All Africa Games in 1991 and increasingly saw the event as an opportunity to demonstrate its prowess in sport.
