The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is the main continental association
football competition in Africa. It is organized by the Confederation of
African Football (CAF).
Founded on 10 February 1957, the first edition was held in Sudan when only
three nations participated namely Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan.
Egypt is the most successful tam with seven titles followed by Ghana with
five titles.
In order not to clash with the FIFA World Cup, the tournament was switched
to being held in odd numbered years in 2013.
AFCON 2019 is the 32nd edition of the competition and was held in Egypt
from 21 June 2019 to 19 July 2019 where Algeria defeated Senegal in the
final match to win their second title.
AFCON 2021 will be played in Ivory Coast while AFCON 2023 will be hosted
by Guinea.
The following slides outline the results of the AFCON finals from 1957 to
2019.
