Facts & Figures
The Portuguese explorer Fernão do Pó is believed to be the first European to discover part of what is now Equatorial Guinea in 1472. The area was then colonised by Portugal, but subsequently ceded to Spain in the eighteenth century in exchange for territory in the American continent, after which it became known as the "Territorios Españoles del Golfo de Guinea Ecuatorial", and from 1926 to 1959 as "Spanish Guinea". In September 1968 Equatorial Guinea finally gained its independence. Although one of the smallest nations in Africa, it is relatively wealthy, especially since the recent discovery of petroleum reserves. As a footballing nation, Equatorial Guinea has never enjoyed huge success - they have never qualified for the World Cup finals nor the finals of the African Cup of Nations, until 2012 when they are to be joint hosts with Gabon.
