List of Africa Cup of Nations penalty shoot-outs

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Following on from a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football, where I raised notability concerns about this topic, I still have some concerns. This is possibly a case of WP:NOTSTATS; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics. Secondly, I'm not sure it meets WP:LISTN as I don't see any evidence that these penalty shoot-outs have been discussed as a group significantly in WP:RS.

Some of the finals have been decided on penalties, most famously 2015 Africa Cup of Nations Final and 1992 African Cup of Nations Final but these have their own articles. Whilst some of the individual matches do receive significant coverage, such as Goal.com on 1992 and Guardian on 2015, the shoot-outs, as a group, do not appear to have received much in the way of coverage or analysis.
