Africa Cup of Nations: 10 records
Ten Africa Cup of Nations records:
Egypt have won the competition a record seven times, including three titles in a row between 2006 and 2010. The Pharaohs have played 111 matches in 26 editions, winning 60, drawing 24 and losing 27.
---
Recently re-elected Cameroon football federation president and former star Samuel Eto'o scored a record 18 goals in six tournaments between 2000 and 2010.
---
The late Ivory Coast icon Laurent Pokou scored the most goals by an individual in a match -- claiming five in a 6-1 group victory over Ethiopia at the 1970 tournament in Sudan.
---
Ndaye Mulamba, who died in 2019, holds the record for the most goals in a tournament, scoring nine for 1974 champions Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo) in Egypt.
---
The 1974 final in Cairo was the only one to be replayed. Mulamba scored both goals as Zaire beat Zambia 2-0 at the second attempt after a 2-2 draw.
---
The first final delivered the widest winning margin with Egypt beating Ethiopia 4-0 in Khartoum. Mohamed Diab El-Attar, popularly known as Diba, scored all four goals.
---
Nine finals have been decided by post-match penalties. The longest shootout was in 1992 with the Ivory Coast pipping Ghana 11-10 in Senegal to become champions for the first time.
---
Ghanaian Andre 'Pele' Ayew, Egyptian Ahmed Hassan, Tunisian Youssef Msakni and Cameroonian Rigobert Song have each played in a record eight tournaments.
---
Coach Hassan Shehata won a record three consecutive tournaments, guiding Egypt to victory in the 2006, 2008 and 2010 finals. Ghanaian Charles Gyamfi also won three finals, in 1963, 1965 and 1982.
---
Tunisia will hold the record for the most consecutive appearances at the tournament with 17 from 1994 to 2025. The Carthage Eagles hosted and won the 2004 edition.
