The Africa Cup of Nations trophy is a golden trophy awarded to the winner of the Africa Cup of Nations. Three different trophies have been presented to the winners of the tournament since its inception in 1957: The Abdel Aziz Abdullah Salem Cup from 1957 to 1987, named after the donors and the first president of the Confederation of African Football, Abdel Aziz Abdallah Salem of Egypt, and kept by the Ghana after winning it three times in 1963, 1965 and 1978. The second trophy is the African Unity Cup. It was given by the Supreme Council for Sports in Africa to the Confederation of African Football before the tournament and was used from 1980 to 2000 and was kept by Cameroon after winning it three times in 1984, 1988 and 2000.[1] The current cup is called the African Cup of Nations (after the official name of the tournament) and has been used since 2001, although the Egyptian team won it three times in a row in 2006, 2008 and 2010.[2] However, the Confederation of African Football gave the Egyptian Football Association a complete replica to keep and the shape of the official cup did not change.[3] The teams that win the title are also entitled to place a star according to the number of times they win above the team logo on the shirts.
