Time since last trophy
Sudan won as hosts in Khartoum, beating Ghana 1-0 in the final for their only AFCON title.
Sudan's only Africa Cup of Nations title came in 1970, when they beat Ghana 1-0 in the final in Khartoum. Sudan were one of CAF's founding nations and hosted the inaugural Africa Cup of Nations in 1957 as well as the 1970 edition. Despite that early importance, the national team have never qualified for a men's World Cup and have not reached another AFCON final since their home triumph.
