== Mascot ==
To choose the tournament mascot, the organizing committee is launching a competition open to the entire Tunisian population. The only rules imposed, this mascot must be an [[eagle]] and must represent football, Africa and Tunisia.

Of the fifty or so proposals submitted to the committee, it is the work of Malek Khalfallah that is retained. It is an eagle, which the author baptized '''Nçayir'''. The colors of its equipment, red and white, refer to the colors of the [[Flag of Tunisia|Tunisian flag]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Mascotte|first=Richard Coudrais · in|title=Nçayir, mascotte de jasmin|url=https://www.footichiste.com/2013/01/13/mascotte-can-2004-tunisie/|access-date=2021-03-15|language=fr-FR}}</ref>

== Match ball ==
The official ball for the 2004 African Cup of Nations is the [[Adidas Fevernova]]. Designed two years earlier by Adidas for the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], the ball was reused during 2004 African Cup of Nations.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ils ont marqué le foot africain (70 à 61)|url=https://www.sofoot.com/ils-ont-marque-le-foot-africain-70-a-61-436115.html|access-date=2021-03-15|website=SOFOOT.com|language=fr}}</ref>

To choose the tournament mascot, the organizing committee is launching a competition open to the entire Tunisian population. The only rules imposed, this mascot must be an [[eagle]] and must represent football, Africa and Tunisia. Of the fifty or so proposals submitted to the committee, it is the work of Malek Khalfallah that is retained. It is an eagle, which the author baptized Nçayir. The colors of its equipment, red and white, refer to the colors of the [[Flag of Tunisia|Tunisian flag]].{{Blockquote

The 2004 African Cup of Nations, known as the Nokia 2004 Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship purposes, was the 24th edition of the African Cup of Nations, the biennial international men's football championship of Africa organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The tournament was played between 24 January and 14 February 2004 in Tunisia, taking place in the country for the third time following the 1965 and 1994 editions. The organization of the 2004 edition was awarded to Tunisia on 4 September 2000.

The defending champions were Cameroon from the 2002 edition. A total of 32 matches were played, in which 88 goals were scored, at an average of 2.75 goals per match. Attendance at all stages of the tournament reached 617,500, averaging 19,297 viewers per match. Qualification took place from 7 September 2002 to 6 July 2003. Cameroon as title holder and Tunisia as host country automatically qualified for the final phase of the tournament. As in the 2002 edition, sixteen teams, divided into four groups each comprising four teams, took part in the competition. The defending champions Cameroon were eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing 1–2 against Nigeria's Super eagles. Tunisia won the title for the first time in their history, after beating one-time champions Morocco in the final match with a score of 2–1, so the Eagles of Carthage are the 13th selection in history to be crowned African champions. Nigeria secured third place after beating Mali in the third place match, which placed them fourth.

Four players scored the most goals at the end of the tournament: Tunisian Francileudo Santos, Cameroonian Patrick Mboma, Malian Frédéric Kanouté and Nigerian Jay-Jay Okocha, however the top scorer title was given to Tunisia's Santos as he was the player of the champion team and did not receive any cards throughout the tournament, while Nigeria's Okocha won the best player award. As champions, Tunisia qualified for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany, as a representative of African continent.

Host selection

[edit]
The 7 November Stadium (pictured in 2009) host the final match, were one aspect of Tunisia's perceived success.

The organization of the 2004 edition was awarded to Tunisia on 4 September 2000 by the CAF Executive Committee meeting in Cairo, Egypt.[1] Voters had a choice between four countries : Malawi and Zambia (joint bid), Tunisia and Zimbabwe.[2] Benin and Togo were both also candidates at the start (joint bid) but withdrew on 4 September 2000 before the meeting.[3] This edition was awarded to Tunisia which represented Africa in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France by taking the majority of the votes of the CAF Executive Committee members which are 13 after its impressive success in the 1994 edition.[4] This is the third time that Tunisia has hosted the African Cup after 1965 and 1994 editions. Two years before the start of the tournament, an organizing committee (Comité d'organisation de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations; COCAN) was established, headed by Slim Chiboub (who was the head of the organizing committee in 1994).[5]

Location of the Tunisian host cities of the 2004 African Cup of Nations

The main host cities are concentrated on the country's coastal strip: Bizerte, Monastir, Sousse, Sfax and the capital Tunis.[6] The 7 November Stadium is the largest stadium in the country with a capacity of 60,000 spectators, located in city of Radès, in the southern suburb of the city Tunis, it was built to host the 2001 Mediterranean Games and 2003 Tunis Four Nations Tournament and opened on 6 July 2001 during the final of the 2000–01 Tunisian Cup.[7] The stadium obtains the Class 1 Certificate from the World Athletics,[8] which means that it reaches the best standards and specifications in its field.[9]

El Menzah Stadium in Tunis and Sousse Olympic Stadium in Sousse hosted matches of the 1994 African Cup of Nations.[10][11] Taieb Mhiri Stadium in Sfax was one of the stadiums of the 1965 African Cup of Nations.[12] Mustapha Ben Jannet Stadium in Monastir and 15 October Stadium in Bizerte have also been added to host the event.[13][14] All stadiums were renovated before the start of the tournament.[15]

Final

[edit]

During the final, on 14 February 2004 at Stade 7 November in Radès in front of 60,000 supporters,[58] Tunisia got off to a good start with a lead 1–0 after four minutes with Mehdi Nafti centered on Francileudo Santos, who scored his fourth goal of the tournament. At the end of the first half, Morocco came back to score with a goal from Youssouf Hadji on a lift from Youssef Mokhtari. Seven minutes passed in the second half before another Tunisian striker, Ziad Jaziri gave his country the lead. The match finally ends with the score of 2–1, giving Tunisia their first African Cup of Nations title.[59] Khaled Badra and Riadh Bouazizi lifted the trophy after receiving it from President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.[60] The Eagles of Carthage are the 13th selection in history to be crowned African champions. Roger Lemerre also becomes the first coach to win two different continental tournaments after having previously won the UEFA Euro 2000 with France.[61] The national team also wins the African National Team of the Year award from the Confederation of African Football.[62] As champions, Tunisia qualified for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany, as a representative of African continent.[63]

Mascot

[edit]
Official mascot poster.

To choose the tournament mascot, the organizing committee is launching a competition open to the entire Tunisian population. The only rules imposed, this mascot must be an eagle and must represent football, Africa and Tunisia. Of the fifty or so proposals submitted to the committee, it is the work of Malek Khalfallah that is retained. It is an eagle, which the author baptized Nçayir. The colors of its equipment, red and white, refer to the colors of the Tunisian flag.

I sent my proposal by post without even giving my phone number. I just wanted to participate. And one day someone knocked on the door telling me that I urgently needed to call a number. To my great surprise I learned that it was my first mascot proposal that won the contest! I then had to change a few details requested by the organizing committee.

— Malek Khalfallah (mascot designer)[74]

Match ball

[edit]

The official ball for the 2004 African Cup of Nations is the Adidas Fevernova. Designed two years earlier by Adidas for the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in South Korea and Japan and 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup held in United States, the ball was reused during the 2004 African Cup of Nations.[75]
