1962 African Cup of Nations
Template:Infobox international football competition
The 1962 African Cup of Nations was the third edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Ethiopia. Nine countries entered the competition, including the reigning champions Egypt, meaning for the first time a qualification tournament was required. The finals only included four teams. Egypt, as holders, and Ethiopia as hosts, qualified automatically meaning each needed to play only one game to reach the final. Ethiopia won the tournament for the first time, defeating UAR 4–2, after extra time in the final.[1]
This tournament has the highest goals-per-game average in Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
