Emilio Nsue made history on Sunday by winning the Golden Boot of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). Cameroonian legend Samuel Eto’o has won the Golden Boot of the CAN twice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations lived up to the media hype, with Ivory Coast clinching the coveted title in front of their home supporters. Several individual awards were also presented after the final, with Emilio Nsue winning the Golden Boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ad-Diba won the very first Golden Boot of the Africa Cup of Nations in 1957. He claimed the award after scoring five goals in the tournament, including four in Egypt’s victory over Ethiopia in the final. African football legends Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba have also previously won this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cameroonian won the Golden Boot of the CAN in the 2006 and 2008 editions. Drogba may not have won the CAN title with Ivory Coast during his illustrious career, but he won the Golden Boot once. He claimed the award in 2012, sharing it with six others after they all scored three goals each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emilio Nsue, from Equatorial Guinea, became the latest recipient of this prestigious award, winning the Golden Boot after scoring five goals during the 2023 CAN. All his goals were scored in the group stage, netting a hat-trick against Guinea-Bissau and a brace against Ivory Coast. He made history with this honor, becoming the second player from Equatorial Guinea to win the Golden Boot of the CAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
