Do you mean how long a Country has successfully defended it's status as African Champions?

You can only obtain that from FIFA rankings. We are not too serious with record keeping in Africa, except Vynl of juju music

I think i did not ask my question well. For example, Cameroon has had the number one ranking for about four years now. I wanted to know if any other other African teams had been on that ranking for a time longer than that.

Do you mean finishing the year at number 1, or holding the position continuously?
I don't believe Cameroun had held that position every month for 4 yrs straight, they may have finished number 1 every yr in that time though.

P.S. South Africa was Africa's Number 1 team in Jan 2001 followed by Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, and then Cameroun in 5th place

I mean holding that record all the way to the end of the year.

On CE ranking, the top spot has continuousely revolved around Nigeria, Senegal and Cameroun though Cameroun has held the spot most often

The following countries closed out the year as the number 1 African team on the continent since the inception of the FIFA rankings:
93 - Nigeria
94 - Nigeria
95 - CIV
96 - South Africa
97 - Morocco
98 - Morocco
99 - Morocco
00 - South Africa
01 - Tunisia
02 - Cameroun
03 - Cameroun

I guess Morocco holds the record, finishing as Africa's best team 3 years in a row. Cameroun, Nigeria and SA have two number 1 years although SA's was not consecutive
