Lomé 2020 : Postponement of Africa cross-country championships

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the Togolese Ministry of Sports through the Togolese Athletics Federation, sent a message to the President of the African Athletics Confederation to convey the concerns of the Togolese Government regarding the organization of CAA events which were planned in Lomé, from April 6 to 8, 2020.

Also, by email dated March 11, 2020, the CAA has been informed by many of our national federations of their government authorities’ ban on participation in international competitions.

Faced with this new situation, the CAA President, in consultation with members of the Executive Board, took the decision to postpone the African Cross-Country Championships of Togo until 2021 and the Council meeting until new date to avoid any threat on these events planned in Togo and preserve the health of our athletes and members.
