Go back! The Félix-Houphouët-Boigny stadium in Abidjan and the Bouaké stadium then welcome confrontations. The year is historic for Cameroon, which emerges from it a big winner. For the rest of this ranking, Nigeria is a place as a finalist, while Algeria and Egypt place themselves respectively in third and fourth positions.
Many players are distinguished on this occasion. The Golden Soulier, a distinction of the top scorer, goes to the current Egyptian Government Minister of Sports, Taher Abouzaid, for his 4 goals. As for him, Théophile Abéga receives the African Ballon d'Or , a prize for the best player. "Doctor" was able to bring his team to the final victory, thus engraving the name of the Indomitable Lions in the history of the African Cup of Nations.
Heavy in emotions, this edition also remains in memories for the lack of fair play of certain participants ... The Nigerian and Algerian federations underwent a fine of 6 thousand dollars by the African Football Confederation for non-compliance with sports ethics!
