The 1992 African Cup of Nations final was a football match that took place on 26 January 1992, at the Stade de l'Amitié in Dakar, Senegal, to determine the winner of the 1992 African Cup of Nations. The Ivory Coast defeated Ghana 11–10 on penalties after a goalless draw to win their first African Cup.
The penalty shoot-out was notably the first time that every player on the field took a penalty in a major senior international final. This would be repeated when the two teams met in the 2015 final in another Ivorian victory.
Abedi Pele, who was the African Footballer of the Year and the tournament's best player, was suspended and did not play in the final for Ghana.
