The 1994 African Cup of Nations was the 19th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the association football championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Tunisia, who replaced original hosts Zaire. Just as in 1992, the field of twelve teams was split into four groups of three. Nigeria won its second championship, beating Zambia 2–1 in the final.
The Zambian team was recently formed, following an air disaster in which eighteen players and several staff members of the previous team had been killed.
Ten tickets are to be distributed to the 37 countries participating in these qualifications. Tunisia, the tournament organizer, and the Ivory Coast, the defending champion, are exempt from these games. After a preliminary round played in two-way matches involving four teams (two qualified for the main round), the teams are divided into eight groups of four. The first in each group as well as the second in groups of 5 or 6 obtain their ticket for the final tournament in Tunisia. In addition to the withdrawals during the competition of Togo, Chad, Tanzania and Burkina Faso, the selections of Mauritania and Libya, initially registered, withdraw before the start of the qualifications.
Note for these qualifiers the debut in official international competition of the selection of Cape Verde, eliminated in the preliminary round, and the first participation of South Africa, banned from world football since the establishment of apartheid. The end of South Africa's segregationist policy allows the reintegration of Bafana Bafana into the Confederation of African Football.
