IBSA Africa Goalball Championships is one of the four competition regions used for World Championships and Paralympic Games qualification for goalball, a team sport for the vision-impaired.

Hostings[edit]

2010 Port Said[edit]

The 2010 IBSA Goalball African Championships was held in Port Said, Egypt. Final ranked teams were:

Men: Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Libya.

2011 Sydney[edit]

The team competed in a composite tournament, the 2011 IBSA African-Oceania Regional Championships, with games from 15 to 17 November 2011, at the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre, Sydney, Australia.[1] Although the four regions under the rules were Africa, America, Asia/Pacific, and Europe, as there were insufficient competitive teams in both Africa and Oceania regions, IBSA agreed to combined championships.

For the women's teams, it was only Australia versus New Zealand, the winner qualifying for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. From the best of three games, Australia dominated and qualified.

For the men's teams, Algeria beat Australia, who in turn, had beaten New Zealand. Algeria went onto the Paralympic Games.
