The African Cup of Nations is currently underway. Hosted by Cameroon, 24 countries have been playing for the right to be crowned the 33rd champions of the continent. There have been a number of upsets on the pitch so far with Algeria, winners of the last tournament, already knocked out after a dismal group stage. Three-time champions Nigeria exited in the round of 16, while Ghana, champions already on four occasions, failed to win a match and never got out of their group.
The hosts Cameroon are through to the quarter finals, and are looking to claim their sixth title. As this infographic shows though, that would still leave Egypt in front in the overall standings, although the most recent of their seven victories came back in 2010. If a Mo Salah-captained Egypt are to get their name back on the trophy they still have a lot of work to do: Next up is the Ivory Coast, a team also looking to add another championship to their current tally of two.
