The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Final was a football match that took place on 10 February 2013 to determine the winner of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The match was held at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg which also hosted the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations Final and the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final. The tournament's closing ceremony was held just prior to kick-off. The decision was announced in May 2012.[2][3] The final was contested between Nigeria and Burkina Faso.[4]
Sunday Mba scored the only goal as Nigeria won the final 1–0.[5] Hence, Nigeria then represented CAF at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.[6]
