Zambia’s penalty shoot-out triumph in the Final of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations was an emotional end to the 28th edition of the tournament, co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. The tournament began back in 2010 with the first qualifying matches and finished with the dramatic win by unfancied Zambia over the favourites Ivory Coast, in the country where many of the 1993 Zambian side died in an air crash. This book records every match played in both the qualifying and finals tournaments, full line-ups in the 32 Finals matches, details of the national squads, top scorers, host stadiums plus an extended section on each of the previous 27 tournaments back to the first in 1957. 130 pages of facts and statistics covering all aspects of the competition.
