1996 African Nations Cup
From Freepedia
The 1996 African Nations Cup was the 20th edition of the African Nations Cup, the soccer championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by South Africa, who replaced original hosts Kenya. The field expanded to sixteen teams, split into four groups of four; the top two teams in each group advanced to the quarterfinals. However, Nigeria withdrew from the tournament at the final moment, so Group C was reduced to only three teams, and the field to fifteen. South Africa won its first championship, beating Tunisia in the final 2-0.
