The Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the African Nations Cup, was first held in 1957 and just three teams took part in the fledgling tournament. Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia were the three participating nations, with South Africa disqualified due to the apartheid policies of their government at the time
 
Egyptian midfielder Ahmed Hassan is the only player to have won the tournament's MVP award more than once. The 36-year-old scooped the award in 2006, and again in 2010. On a side note, Hassan is the most capped male footballer in history with 179 appearances for Egypt
 
The most goals scored by a single player in the AFCON is nine and that accolade belongs to former Democratic Republic of Congo midfielder Ndaye Mulamba. Mulamba was nicknamed "Mutumbula" ("assassin") and also captained the Leopards in the 1974 World Cup in West Germany
 
The original AFCON trophy was named the Abdelaziz Abdallah Salem Trophy, after the first CAF president and was made of Silver. Ghana were handed the trophy permanently after winning the competition for a third time in 1978.
