AFCON records: goals, caps, and finals

What this AFCON records quiz covers

From all-time goal scorers to appearance leaders and finals history, this quiz focuses on the standout records that shaped AFCON. Expect a mix of legendary names, tournament editions, and record-breaking moments.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through stats and eras without rushing.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen your recall of players, nations, and tournament timelines while learning to connect records to specific AFCON editions. It’s also great practice for separating similar-sounding facts, like top scorers vs. most caps.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from mixing AFCON records with World Cup or club achievements, or confusing qualifiers with the finals tournament. Another trap is assuming the most famous player from a country must hold its AFCON record.

How difficulty and length are balanced

Difficulty is mixed: straightforward record holders are blended with tougher questions that test exact totals and less-remembered finals runs. You can choose your question count and difficulty before starting, making it easy to go for a quick warm-up or a full deep dive.

• Focus on AFCON finals tournament records, not qualifiers
• Watch for “most goals in a single edition” vs “all-time goals” wording
• Don’t confuse “caps at AFCON” with overall international caps
• Use elimination: two options are often close in era or nation
• Re-check whether a question asks for player, country, or year
• If stuck, think by generation: 70s/80s vs 90s/00s vs modern era
