The 1982 Africa Cup ( English : African Cup of Nations , French : Coupe d'Afrique des Nations ) was the 13th edition of the African continental football championship and took place from March 5th to 19th in Libya . Organized by the African continental football association Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF), eight teams from Algeria , Ethiopia , Ghana , Cameroon , Libya , Nigeria , Zambia and Tunisia took part.

As in previous years, there was also a qualification to reduce the field of participants from 33 applicants to eight finalists, with host Libya and defending champion Nigeria automatically qualifying.
