1994 African Cup of Nations

The 1994 African Cup of Nations was the 19th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the association football championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Tunisia, who replaced original hosts Zaire. Just as in 1992, the field of twelve teams was split into four groups of three. Nigeria won its second championship, beating Zambia 2–1 in the final.

The Zambian team was recently formed, following an air disaster in which eighteen players and several staff members of the previous team had been killed.
