Egypt won the competition after beating Cameroon.
Mozambique versus Tunisia
On 16 January 1996, Mozambique gathered their first point at the African championship for national football teams after a 1-1 draw against Tunisia. Jorge Miguel Moreira Larrouy Fernandes, Manuel José Luís Bucuane and Sérgio Faife Matsolo played for Mozambique against Tunisia that day. They became the football players in the match who played at least 50 games for Mozambique in their life.
