National men's handball team will not participate in the All Africa Games qualifiers set to kick off this morning at the Makerere University Indoor Stadium in Kampala, Uganda. This is after the African Handball Confederation (CAHB) called off the men's version of the event, having given a bye to Egypt who are the defending champions. Egypt will now represent Zone 5 at the All Africa Games. The men's team, who have been training alongside their female counterparts will now switch focus to the next year’s Africa Cup of Nation cum-Olympic qualifiers scheduled for Tunisia. The Zone 5 defending champs, under the tutelage of Jack Ochieng, will be up against Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Sudan, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Egypt and hosts Uganda.
