In addition to this list of Olympic qualifiers, 7 countries are invited by the tripartite commission, bringing the number of participating African countries to 31.

All are in the home stretch and are actively preparing for the biggest rendezvous of their sports career. We wish them lots of courage and selflessness and we send them all the energy they need to be ready on D-Day. Congratulations to all the qualified athletes. We also have a sincere thought for those who did not make it, but who lived with intensity all the period preceding the Games. We are convinced that in three years, in Paris, the number of African competitors will be even higher.
