West African Nations Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The West African Nations Cup, also known as CSSA Nations Cup or "Zone 3" Championship. held from 1982 to 1987 (not in 1985), but discontinued. Ghana won all editions, and indeed never lost a single match among the 25 they played. Upper Volta became Burkina Faso in 1984.
The tournament was unsuccessfully revived in 2001 as WAFU Championship; in 2005 a "WAFU Laurent Gbagbo West African Unity Cup" was organised between four of the better teams of the region, apparently as an invitational tournament so not a proper successor of the tournament of the eighties.
