About the CAF Africa Cup of Nations

The Africa Cup of Nations, officially the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, is the main international men's football competition in Africa. It was first held in 1957 and is sanctioned by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Since 1968 the tournament has been staged every two years, though recent calendar reforms have shifted its slot within the international football calendar. The current format features 24 teams in a group stage followed by a knockout round. Egypt are the most successful nation with seven titles.

Tournament Format

24 teams compete in six groups of four. The top two from each group plus the four best third-placed sides advance to the round of 16. All matches from the round of 16 onwards are single-leg knockouts with extra time and penalties deciding level ties.

Qualifying All CAF nations play home-and-away qualifying groups. Host nation qualifies automatically.
Group stage 24 teams, 6 groups of 4. Top 2 plus 4 best 3rd-placed sides progress.
Round of 16 16 teams. Single-leg elimination knockouts.
