The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the Orange Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship reasons, held from 19 January to 10 February 2013, was the 29th Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).Starting from this edition, the tournament was switched to being held in odd-numbered years instead of even-numbered years so that it does not clash with the FIFA World Cup.
Nigeria won their third Africa Cup of Nations championship with a 1–0 victory over Burkina Faso in the final. Nigeria will participate in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil as the representative from CAF.
