AFCON increases record on final shootouts

The AFCON 2021 final was the 20th time in the history of football when a continental championship was decided by a penalty shootout in the final game. Almost half of these cases (9) apply just to Africa Cup of Nations.
The rest are distributed as follows:
CONMEBOL Copa América – 4,
European Nations' Cup/UEFA European Championship – 2,
CONCACAF Gold Cup – 2,
AFC Asian Cup – 2,
OFC Nations Cup – 1.
For the first time, this method of determining the winner of the tournament was used at the 1976 European Championship.
