The1988 African Cup of Nations was the 16th edition of theAfrica Cup of Nations, theassociation football championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Morocco, who replaced original host Zambia. Just like in1986, the field of eight teams was split into two groups of four. The tournament final was held inCasablanca atStade Mohamed V.Cameroon won its second championship, beatingNigeria in the final 1−0.
This tournament has the fewest goals-per-game average in Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
The original host wasZambia but after their withdrawal in December 1986 due to financial issues, theConfederation of African Football approachedAlgeria which agreed to host the tournament. However, in February1987 the CAF rescinded this decision following a dispute with Algeria which protested the CAF's decision to order a replay of the first leg match of the1987 All-Africa Games qualification againstTunisia. CAF had made this decision following Tunisia's protest thatAlgeria had fielded two professional players.Morocco was chosen in the end to host the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations replacing Algeria.[1][2]
