The games are scheduled to take place from July 2 to 5, 2026. Cameroon will host Group A matches featuring Cape Verde, Libya, South Sudan, and the Indomitable Lions of basketball. The event marks another important step for the country as it continues to strengthen its position in hosting major international sporting competitions.
Senegal will host Group B, which includes Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo, while Angola will stage the Group C and Group D fixtures.
