For Regional and National Championships (in collective team sports) one additional spot is allotted to the team composition as per the CAF Sports Operations Manual in your respective sport.

Assistant coaches take a spot on the eligibility list, therefore if the same team also has an assistant coach they would be able to bring 19 athletes, 1 assistant coach and 1 coach.
