[1] After an 11-year hiatus, the tournament was held again in 2020 in Tunisia, with the participation of five teams: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Mauritania and Tanzania, who were invited to participate. Morocco won the title after topping the standings, [2] with Tanzania taking second place, [3] Tunisia third, Algeria fourth, and Mauritania fifth.
