this african cup is crazy , Cameroon was never favourite and mostly loses vs Ghana ,  Egypt played the semi without their best players (injured) and the goalkeeper has 44 years old

Congratulations at  

They won a fifth CAF Africa Cup of Nations title following their 2-1 come-from-behind win over Egypt, after second-half goals from substitutes N'Koulou and Aboubakar.

The "Indomitable Lions" wasn't on top of favourites teams, but with the fight spirit, defeated Senegal, Ghana and Egypt ; maybe they have deserve it!!

Cameroon won the first continental trophy since 2002, and will represent Africa at Confederation Cup 2017 (join in "Group B" with Germany, Chile and Austarlia)
