The 2019 African Games men's football tournament was the 12th edition of the African Games men's football tournament. The men's football tournament was held as part of the 2019 African Games between 16–30 August 2019.[1] Under-20 national teams took part in the tournament.

Teams

[edit]

Initially, qualification for the African Games tournament was shared with that of the 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations. Following the delay of the third round of qualification from June to September 2019 (after the African Games vent), CAF selected representative teams from nations that had participated in the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations with the exception of Niger (host) who was replaced by Morocco.[2]
