Nigeria 1963 AFCON Squad

Ghana won the 1963 Africa Cup Of Nations after thrashing Sudan 3-0 n the final. The third place playoff was between the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia. The game also ended 3-0 in favour of UAE.

See the breakdown below:

  • CHAMPIONS: GHANA
  • RUNNERS-UP: SUDAN
  • THIRD: EGYPT (UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC)

The competition then didn’t have many teams participating. There were only six countries competing and so there was just a group stage from which teams reached the final and third place playoffs.
