Zambia sent only one athlete to the 2019 African Beach Games.

The Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa declared satisfaction with the Hammamet 2023 Organising Committee's progress at its last General Assembly. 

Africa's best athletes in beach disciplines could have a busy 2023 as the Association of National Olympic Committees is staging its World Beach Games in Bali in Indonesia in August.

The NOCZ has also appointed Susanna Dakik Chef de Mission for the Trinbago 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games and Rodrick Ndhlovu Chef de Mission for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
