1974 Africa Cup of Nations


The 1974 Africa Cup of Nations was the ninth edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the soccer championship of Africa. It was hosted by Egypt.
Just like in 1972, the field of eight teams was split into two groups of four. Zaire won its second championship, tying Zambia 2−2 in the final and beating them 2−0 in the replay. Zaire went on to compete in the World Cup later that year.
