West African Nations Cup

The West African Nations Cup, also known as CSSA Nations Cup or "Zone 3" Championship, was a football 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.

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.

The Conseil supérieur du sport en Afrique (CSSA) (English: Supreme Council for Sports in Africa (SCSA)) was established in July 1965 in Brazzaville as the Comité pérmanent du sport Africain (CPSA).

Since 3 July 1977, the CSSA has been functioning as a specialised agency of the Organisation of African Unity and has its headquarters in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
