1957 African Cup of Nations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1957 African Cup of Nations was the first edition of the African Cup of Nations, the soccer championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Sudan, and three teams participated: Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia (South Africa were disqualified because of apartheid).

In 1956 apartheid had increased its presence in South Africa, so their National team was banned from the tournament. Ethiopia has a bye to the final,while at Stade Municipal in Karthoum the Egyptians beat the hosting nation 2-1. The final is much easier for Egypt: 4-0 against Ethiopia, all the goalsscored by Ad-Diba, that finished the tournament as top scorer with 5 goals. Only two games to give Egypt the African Champions title.
