Egypt qualify as holders
Morocco qualify as hosts
The original host was Zambia but after their withdrawal in December 1986 (due to financial
issues), CAF approached Algeria which agreed to host the tournament. However, in February
1987 CAF rescinded this decision following a dispute with Algeria, and instead appointed
Morocco as host.
