The AFCON tournament was first played in 1957, with Egypt being the tournament’s first-ever champions after beating Ethiopia in the final.

Since then, 13 other teams have won the trophy, including Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Algeria and Morocco.

The other past winners are Tunisia, Cameroon, DR Congo, Congo, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Africa and Zambia.

The next edition of the tournament will be hosted by Cameroon and is scheduled to take place from January 9 to February 2, 2022.

While the prize money ($4.5 million) for the AFCON winner is known by many, not many are aware of the trophy’s worth.

The FIFA World Cup trophy, however, tops all with an estimated worth of a whopping $20,000,000.

Meanwhile, the fifth most expensive trophy in world football is the Serie A trophy, which is estimated at $66,000.
