The African Games ( English African Games , French Jeux africains ), until 2012 also called Pan African Games (English Pan African Games or All-Africa Games , French Jeux de toute l'Afrique or Jeux panafricains ), are the sports games of the African continent . They are organized by the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) and are usually held every four years.

The first games took place in 1965 in Brazzaville , Republic of the Congo , which also hosted the 50th anniversary in 2015. The last games so far took place in Rabat in Morocco in 2019 . For the first time since 1999, no disabled athletes took part in the games. With the African Para Games 2020 you will receive your own games for the first time.
