  • The 3rd All-Africa Games were played from July 13, 1978 to July 28, 1978 in Algiers, Algeria. 45 countries participated in twelve sports. The Egyptian team, which had topped the medals table in the previous two games was called home by its government midway through the games after a brawl marred the soccer tournament. The Libyan team, after losing to the Egyptians, attacked the Egyptian players. Spectators armed with metals bars and clubs joined in on the Libyan side. It was reported that Algerian police did little to stop the violence. Live television broadcast the melee to Egypt, and the Egyptian Prime minister called the team home immediately. The meeting in Algiers gave those African nations associated with the Commonwealth a chance to address another brewing controversy; their proposed boycott of the 1978 Commonwealth Games which were to be held the following month in Edmonton, Canada. The discussions were fruitful and the boycott was not carried out. Henry Rono, the Kenyan star who had already set four world records on the track in 1978 won the 10,000 meters and 3000 meters steeplechase. Filbert Bayi again took the 1500 meters gold medal. At the conclusion of the games it was not known where the next games would be held as no city had come forth to offer to hold the games.
  • De derde Afrikaanse Spelen werden gehouden van 13 juli 1978 tot 28 juli 1978, in Algiers, Algerije. 45 landen namen deel aan deze Spelen. De Egyptische delegatie werd na een incident tussen het Egyptische en Libische voetbalteam teruggeroepen. De Libiërs vielen de Egyptenaars aan waarna het Algerijnse publiek zich aan de kant van de Libiërs schaarde. De Algerijnse politie deed nagenoeg niets om het geweld te stoppen. Als reactie hierop riep de Egyptische premier de delegatie opnieuw naar huis.
  • Os Jogos Pan-africanos de 1978 foram realizados na cidade de Argel, na Algéria, entre 13 e 28 de julho. Esta edição contou com a participação de 45 nações, divididas entre os 108 eventos dos doze esportes disputados. Os Jogos argelinos ficaram marcados pelo abandono da equipe egípcia, convocada por seu governo, devido a um desentendimento com a seleção libanesa: no futebol masculino, após a derrota para os egípcios, os libaneses os agrediram fisicamente, com o apoio da torcida e devido a baixa intervenção policial local.
