The tournament began life in 2009 with 8 teams, which was doubled for the 2nd to the 6th editions and is currently contested by 18 teams.Since the 2014 edition, matches of every edition of this competition from qualification to the final will be computed to calculate the forthcoming FIFA World Rankings following its conclusion, which CAF exlaimed at the time as "an important step for the competition's development".
