The Africa Cup of Nations is the leading international men’s soccer tournament on the African continent. Since its inception in 1957, Egypt has won the most tournament titles with seven, including the inaugural final against Ethiopia. Cameroon has won five tournament championships.
In March 2026, host nation Morocco was awarded the title by appeals judges who overturned Senegal’s victory in January.
