The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has invited the seven qualifiers from the men's under-20 continental tournament to play at the African Games in Morocco this year.

The multisport event, formerly called the All-Africa Games, normally features under-23 sides in the men's football tournament.

Teams were due to earn a place at the games through a joint qualifying campaign with the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations.

However Caf has now postponed the final round of qualifiers for the under-23 tournament until September with the African Games due to take place in August.

I wondered what happened to this event.

I'm guessing it will mainly be home based U20 players since European clubs will probably be reluctant to release their players.

And that's fine!
