5 countries with most African Cup of Nations wins

#3 Cameroon – 4-time winners

Cameroon’s last triumph in Africa’s biggest competition came in 2002

As well as having the distinction of being the first African team to reach the World Cup quarter-finals (a feat they achieved in 1990), Cameroon are joint second on the list of most AFCON victories with the nation having lifted the trophy four times.

Despite not having many famous players in Europe, Cameroon have managed to do generally well in this competition and have finished as runners-up last in 2008, with their wins coming in the years 1984, 1988, 2000 and 2002 respectively. Cameroon have also qualified for the World Cup more times than any other African nation.

They will be hoping to do better their group stage exit from last time around.
