Only these nations have won nations cup

Egypt will surely be no 1...the way in number 1 to comment

FACTS

1, Nigeria only needs to win one more Nations cup to move from 4th to become 2nd most successful nation in AFCON, overtaking Ghana and Cameroun
2, Nigeria and Egypt have had the most appearances in Semi Final, but Egypt had more of theirs when there were just 4-6 nations playing the toiurnament.
3, I wasn't born the last time one of our neighbours won. And I'm 30+ plus
4, Cameroun won 4 editions - 3 out of that 4 editions, they defeated nigeria in final
5, Nigeria never lost a 3rd place match.
6, One would have thought CIV has achieved more - They have only won once, and got to semis only 9 times
7, Mali and Senegal have always had great players for decades, but they never won this tournament
8, North africans have won more
9, Egypt, Ghana, Cameroun and Nigeria alone have won 18 editions out of the 29 editions ever held - and one of them is likely to win the next edition. They are the real historical superpowers of African football, effectively.
10, Nigeria has had the most semi-final loss (7 times)
11, Once Cameroun gets to semi final, chances of winning is as high as 75%. They are fighters. They hardly lose at that point. They hardly lose in final too.
12, Sudan and Ethipoia only won something in the 50s to 60s when there were just 4-6 nations competing, so their stats up there is flattering. So are our neighbours

anytime soon 9ja wl be no.1

Nice one Mr Jarus. Its fair but I still Nigeria should be above Ghana, even tho they've won more gold.

Nigeria is becoming the best,its just a matter of time. We will soon be number 1 in every good list.

Once upon a time, it was Ghana 4 Nations Cup, Nigeria 1 Nations Cup.

Now it is Ghana 4, Nigeria 3.

Soon....

Ok

I know a highly placed team on that list who hasn't won that trophy for over 3 decades, who won the trophy last when only 8 teams participated, who won 2 out of its 4 trophies when only 6 teams participated.

so?

Lol . say whatever u want. same can be said of madrid in a way. but seriously Gh needs to step its game.

Nice posting. Good research.

I don't think Ghana deserve that position, technically yes, but if we look at when they won it, they don't deserve it at all.
but Cameroon deserve that second position

but Cameroon deserve that second position

no need for technicalities here.we deserve our position irrespective of the fact that our last cup was in 82

Jarus: FACTS

Love this fact about the Cameroonians.
They dont call them Indomitable Lions for nothing.
