The 10th All-Africa Games (Portuguese: 9os Jogos Pan-Africanos), also known as Maputo 2011, took place between September 3–18, 2011 in Maputo, Mozambique.[1][2] Maputo's hosting marked the third time the Games was held in the southern part of the continent.
Host awarding
[edit]In April 2005, Lusaka, Zambia was named the host of the 10th Games by the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa at a meeting in Algeria.[3] In 2004, Ghana had indicated an interest in hosting the Games,[4] but reportedly withdrew its bid.
In December 2008, the Zambian government withdrew its offer to host the 2011 Games, due to a lack of funds.[5][6][7]
In April 2009, Mozambique stepped in to take on hosting duties.[8][9][6][7]

Venues and infrastructure
[edit]When Mozambique initially announced its ability to host the 10th Games, there was a possibility of a paring down of the sports to be offered, due to time constraints and a potential lack of facilities for the Games (e.g. the country has no field hockey field capable of hosting a Games-level competition).[8] However, the Games eventually featured 20 sports, down 4 from the 24 hosted at the 2007 All-Africa Games.
