What is the record?
For the longest time that a team has been number one in Africa. Anybody knows?

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

Baxter Onigbinde's second coming is the most disingenious stint ever in Nigerian coaching history.

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 .
2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

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
