Album: AFCON Winners Through History

The delayed 2021 Africa Cup of Nations wrapped up yesterday with the star-studded Senegal side winning 4-2 on penalties. Sadio Mane's side's glory came at the expense of his Liverpool teammate Mo Salah's Egypt; who even after an impressive performance from keeper Mohamed Abou Gabal, were not able to go the whole way. Egypt is still the tournament's most successful side, having won it 7 times since its premiere in 1957. 

Next year's tourney will be taking place in Ivory Coast. We've taken a look at the tournament's winners over the last couple years.
