In the first African Nations Cup in 1957, there were only three participating nations ( Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia); since then, however, the field of participants has grown to almost every african nation, thus making it necessary to hold a qualifying tournament (since 1968). It hass been held every two years since 1968, and before that date was held in irregular intervals. forum.top5miami.com /encyclopedia/a/af/african_nations_cup.html

GOLNOIR Bottom line: By virtue of their latest African Cup of Nations triumph, they can lay claim as being Africa's top team but Senegal is rapidly approaching and Nigeria is retooling. Their 1990 run captured the world's imagination and observers say that this was the first African team not to be in awe of the great European and South American sides they faced.

CNNSI.com - Soccer - Veteran Egyptian coach Al Gohari to quit after Nations Cup - Saturday February 02, 2002 07:22 AM As coach, he also took Egypt to their last World Cup finals appearance in 1990 and led them to the African Nations Cup title in 1998 in Burkina Faso. Although Egypt has won the Nations Cup four times, a record it shares with Ghana, Al Gohari admitted it had fallen behind Cameroon and Nigeria, who he now sees as the dominant powers in African football. Less happy moments included failure to reach the Nations Cup quarter-finals in 1992, their poor showing in the Confederations Cup in 1999, and, after being recalled for his fourth spell in charge a year later, missing out on the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /soccer/news/2002/02/02/egypt_coach

GOLNOIR Bottom line: The 1998 African Nations Cup shows that Egypt is not so far removed from its place as one of Africa's top teams but the new generation must step up the challenge of bringing the side to the World Cup. Not only is the ancient land the seat of the Confederation of African Football, but it is also the first African Nation to compete in the World Cup (1934) and winner of the first two African Cup of Nations (1957 & 59). Cairo based sides Zamalek and bitter rivals Al-Ahly, the African club of the 20th century, have been major players in the African Champions League. www.golnoir.net /africa/nations/egypt

www.charlesmhlauri.com THE Zimbabwe senior national team — the Warriors — resume their quest for glory this afternoon when they take on 1990 continental champions Algeria in a double World Cup and African Cup of Nations qualifier, to be played at Oran. A win for Zimbabwe would all but guarantee them a second consecutive appearance at the African Cup of Nations in Egypt while a draw would still be good for them to qualify. However, as African football has often shown, statistics are not always reliable and the 1 — 1 draw that the Warriors registered in the first leg of this qualifier probably shows they have a much tougher task ahead of them this afternoon. members.aol.com /Charlesmhlauri/Charles.Private.Website/News1089.html

Olympic Games Iran's National Olympic Committee president Hashemi Taba sent a letter to IOC President Jacques Rogge in early May telling Rogge to kick Israel out of the IOC right away, claiming they are an illegal nation and do not have "any right whatsoever" to participate in international sport meetings. Zillgitt prodded the IOC to action saying, "If Rogge is serious about 'overriding national, political, religious and language barriers' and wants his words to be meaningful rather than hollow, it's imperative Rogge and the IOC discipline athletes and national teams who flout his wish. That sentiment goes against the agreement signed between the IOC and the Olympic Committee in Taipei by which the CTOC consented to change its name, its flag and its emblem and be known as Chinese Taipei. www.internationalgames.net /olympic.htm
