AFCON- the game we all love
The most prestigious soccer tournament in Africa, the Africa Cup of Nations, has very humble beginnings. The first AFCON competition was held in 1957 and only featured three nations (Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan). Since its inception the number of participating nations has increased to 24. Egypt has been the most successful team, having earned seven titles. South Africa has only won the tournament once, in 1996.
