Subject Hockey returns to the African Video games for the primary time since Nigeria in 2003. The competitors, a non-olympic qualifier will see the very best African nations battle it out for the bragging rights. In 2003 it was the Egyptians who earned the gold medal defeating South Africa 3-2 within the closing after additional time. That end result noticed Egypt qualify straight for the 2004 Olympics however South Africa would be part of them by means of the FIH Olympic Qualifiers.
With Olympic qualifying for 2024 already full the event this time gives a chance for the South Africans to increase their depth and expose them to the problem of Worldwide hockey.
