The Africa Cup of Nations is a football competition established in 1957. It is contested by the men's national teams of members of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the African governing body for the sport, and is held every four years. The winner of the first final was Egypt, who defeated Ethiopia 4–0 in Khartoum, after extra time.[1] The last final hosted in Yaoundé in 2022 was won by Senegal, which beat Egypt 4–2 on penalties.[2]

The Africa Cup of Nations final is the last match of the competition, and the result determines which team will be declared African champion. As of the 2021 edition, if the score is tied after 90 minutes of regular play, an additional 30-minute period of play, called overtime, is added. If such a match remains tied after extra time, it is decided by a penalty shootout. The team that wins the penalty shootout is then declared the champion.

The 33 finals to-date have produced seven drawn matches, the eventual winners of which have been determined variously by replay (1974), extra time (1962, 1965), penalty shoot-out (1982, 1986, 1992, 2000, 2002, 2006, 2012, 2015, 2021).Egypt is the most successful teams in the history of the tournament, winning seven times.

Notes
  1. ^ There was no official Africa Cup of Nations final match in 1959. The tournament winner was decided by a final round-robin group contested by three teams (United Arab Republic, Sudan, and Ethiopia). Coincidentally, the last match of the tournament pitted the two top ranked teams against each other, with United Arab Republic's 2–1 victory over Sudan thus often being considered the de facto final of the 1959 Africa Cup of Nations.
  2. ^ There was no official African Cup of Nations final match in 1976. The tournament winner was decided by a final round-robin group contested by four teams (Morocco, Guinea, Nigeria, and Egypt). Coincidentally, one of the last two matches of the tournament pitted the two top ranked teams against each other, with Morocco's 1–1 draw with Guinea thus often being considered the de facto final of the 1976 African Cup of Nations. Likewise, the game between the lowest ranked teams, played on the same day as Morocco vs Guinea, can be considered equal to a 3rd place match, with Nigeria's 3–2 victory over Egypt ensuring that they finished third.
