The '''1994 African Cup of Nations''', known as the '''[[Nescafé]] 1994 Africa Cup of Nations''' for sponsorship purposes, was the 19th edition of the [[Africa Cup of Nations|African Cup of Nations]], the biennial international men's football championship of Africa organised by the [[Confederation of African Football]] (CAF). The tournament was played between 26 March and 10 April 1994 in Tunisia, taking place in the country for the second time following the [[1965 African Cup of Nations|1965 editions]]. Tunisia host the tournament, who replaced original hosts Zaire. The [[Zambia national football team|Zambian team]] was recently formed, following an [[1993 Zambia national football team plane crash|air disaster]] in which eighteen players and several staff members of the previous team had been killed.

The defending champions were [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]] from the [[1992 African Cup of Nations|1992 edition]]. A total of 20 matches were played, in which 44 goals were scored, at an average of 2.2 goals per match. Attendance at all stages of the tournament reached 267,400, averaging 13,370 viewers per match. Qualification took place from 14 June 1992 to 24 October 1993. Ivory Coast as title holder and Tunisia as host country automatically qualified for the final phase of the tournament. As in the 1992 edition, twelve teams, divided into four groups each comprising tree teams, took part in the competition. Host Tunisia were eliminated from the group stage, which became the biggest failure in the history of the team. The defending champions Ivory Coast were eliminated in the semi-finals after losing in penalties against [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]].

Nigeria won the title for the second time in their history, after beating [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]] in [[1994 African Cup of Nations final|the final]] match with a score of 2–1. Ivory Coast secured third place after beating [[Mali national football team|Mali]] in the third place match, which placed them fourth. Nigerian [[Rashidi Yekini]] scored 5 goals at the end of the tournament, so he won the top scorer award, also he won the best player award. As champions, Nigeria qualified for the [[1995 King Fahd Cup]] in Saudi Arabia, as a representative of African continent.

== Teams ==
{{Main|1994 African Cup of Nations qualification}}Ten tickets are to be distributed to the 37 countries participating in these qualifications. [[Tunisia national football team|Tunisia]], the tournament organizer, and the [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]], the defending champion, are exempt from these games. After a preliminary round played in two-way matches involving four teams (two qualified for the main round), the teams are divided into eight groups of four. The first in each group as well as the second in groups of 5 or 6 obtain their ticket for the final tournament in Tunisia. In addition to the withdrawals during the competition of [[Togo national football team|Togo]], [[Chad national football team|Chad]], [[Tanzania national football team|Tanzania]] and [[Burkina Faso national football team|Burkina Faso]], the selections of [[Mauritania national football team|Mauritania]] and [[Libya national football team|Libya]], initially registered, withdraw before the start of the qualifications.

Note for these qualifiers the debut in official international competition of the selection of [[Cape Verde national football team|Cape Verde]], eliminated in the preliminary round, and the first participation of [[South Africa national soccer team|South Africa]], banned from world football since the establishment of apartheid. The end of South Africa's segregationist policy allows the reintegration of Bafana Bafana into the CAF.
