In addition to Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Sudan, Comoros and Djibouti will participate in this Championship.

The organizing committee had set a deadline (30 December) for the nominative confirmation of participation. Each country will partake with eight players at the most in the competition that will run in singles, pairs and triplets. In accordance with the regulation in force, Algeria, the organizing country, will be represented by 16 players.

“The preparations are going well and we will provide the best conditions to ensure a perfect organization and make this sporting event successful. First of its kind, this Championship will strengthen Algeria’s reputations in this field,” said President of the Algerian Federation of Bowls and Billiards (FARB) Mohamed Amine Maidi.

This African Bowls Championship was due to take place in Algeria in March 2015 but given the lack of means at that time of the year. A request for postponement had been accepted by the African Bowls Confederation.

“Given the efforts of the members of the organizing committee and others, I am convinced that all those who will take part in this important event will have a pleasant memory of our country,” stated the FARB president.
