It was the last time that the competition was held on a yearly schedule, with the event becoming a biennial one instead. Morocco topped the medal table courtesy of its complete sweep of the women's titles. Tunisia took second with twelve golds in the men's section, followed by Algeria with five men's golds. Tunisia's performance was led by Mansour Guettaya and Mohamed Gammoudi, who won a middle-distance running and long-distance running double, respectively. In the women's events, Chérifa Meskaoui was the most successful with four individual gold medals, in hurdles, shot put, discus throw, and pentathlon.
