The 1957 African Cup of Nations was the first edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Sudan. The participating teams were Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia.

Overview[edit]

South Africa was drawn to play Ethiopia in the semi-finals, but were disqualified due to apartheid.[1] Ethiopia therefore had a bye to the final, whilst in the other semi-final at Municipal StadiuminKhartoum, the Egyptians beat the host nation 2–1.[2]

Raafat Attia scored the first ever goal in the history of the tournament for Egypt

In the final, Egypt beat Ethiopia 4–0, with all four goals scored by El-Diba, who finished the tournament as top scorer with five goals. Only two games were played in this first edition.[1]
