All winners of the Cup of African Nations

The team of Egypt is the most award-winning team in Africa, besides this national team won the first two tournaments held in 1957 and 1959. In total, the "Pharaohs" hold seven titles of the best team of the continent. The closest pursuers of the Egyptians are Cameroonians, who, in the event of a triumph in their homeland in the summer of 2019, will approach the North Africans at a distance of one victory. Now the "indomitable lions" boast five trophies. Next in the ranking are Ghana and Nigeria. It is a bit strange to see the Ethiopian team among the Cup of African Nations triumphants, as they are not one of the African Tops right now. However, in 1962, the team of this country became the best on the continent. The same applies to the Sudanese national team that won the CAN in 1970. CAN Winners List:

  1. Egypt - 7 (1957, 1959, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2008, 2010);
