Is this U20 or U23?
I thought this is where the teams qualify for the Olympics, which is U23...
No?

All African games is different from Olympic qualification tournament. Ogunbote should be drafted to coach the team and it should be strictly homebased players.

The AAG is usually for U23 teams...
But will apparently be U20s this year.

Initially, qualification for the AAG was shared with that of the U23 AFCON. However, following the postponement of the final round of U23 AFCON qualifiers from June to September (which is after the AAG in August), CAF decided to invite the 7 teams that qualified for the 2019 U20 AFCON (in Niger) to join AAG hosts Morocco.
