What Do The Scorers, Minutes And Red Cards Tell You?
The scorer and minute beside each goal show who decided a match and when. Red cards sit in the same row, so a win with a player sent off stands out. For the scoring race, the Afcon stats page keeps the count. Mulamba Ndaye's nine goals for Zaire in 1974 remain the record for a single edition.
What Happens When A Match Is Moved Or A Result Is Disputed?
A moved match keeps a note in its original slot, and the score appears on the new date once it is played. The 2021 edition in Cameroon was held in 2022 because of COVID-19 (Senegal won it). Kick off times show in GMT, WAT, SAST and EAT together.

The tournament became biennial in 1968, moved to odd years in 2013, and grew from 16 to 24 teams in 2019.
