Coach Abdoulie Bojang is very successful with the Young Scorpions guiding them to successful Wafu and African championships and would be hoping to consolidate that feat in Accra in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Eight nations in the Men\u2019s division including hosts Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, The Gambia, Congo, Uganda, South Sudan and Benin will take on each other to be crowned champions of the competition.<\/p>\n

The final of the men\u2019s football competition will be played on Friday, 22 March at the Accra Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n

Dating back to 1965 when Congo hosted the maiden edition, the African Games (formerly All African Games) has grown into a giant continental multi-sport competition of repute.<\/p>\n

Over the past years that it\u2019s been running, it has become another symbol of Africa\u2019s unique place in sports, particularly football.<\/p>\n

The 13th edition of the continental competition will take place in Accra between 07 \u2013 23 March.<\/p>\n
