Hi everybody,

This is the first out of a series of posts detailing the winners of various international trophies: today it’s a list of African Cup of Nations Winners. The tournament has been going since 1957 and still continues today, with several superstars taking part every other year.

From the rich boys at Manchester City, for example, there’s Emmanuel Adebayor for Togo and Kolo Toure for Ivory Coast. Chelsea’s Drogba also plays for the latter, as well as Kolo’s brother Yaya. These are to mention but a few names, so we should now get on with this list of all the African Cup of Nations Winners since day one!

Have fun guessing,
