| The 1998 African Nations Cup was the 21st edition of the African Nations Cup, the soccer championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Burkina
Faso. Just like in 1996, the field of sixteen
teams was split into four groups of four. Nigeria, whose late withdrawal in 1996 reduced that field to fifteen, was banned from this
tournament. Egypt won its fourth
championship, beating South
Africa in the final 2-0.
