About this print

Egypt won the first Africa Cup of Nations in Khartoum, a three-team tournament after South Africa was disqualified for refusing to send a multiracial team. Egypt beat the hosts Sudan 2-1 in the semifinal and Ethiopia 4-0 in the final, with all four goals from Ad-Diba. The print shows Ethiopia's bye to the final as an open slot.

About Champs Ring prints

Champs Ring is the original radial sports bracket. Hyperakt's Deroy Peraza created it for the 2010 World Cup, and it went on to appear in more than a hundred publications and in design exhibitions in France and Spain. Every print shows one tournament's knockout rounds as rings, with the champion at the center.
