All the five Ayews have scored at least a goal at the AFCON, Rahim except Ayew, who couldn’t find the back of the net as a member of the Black Stars in 2010.
Abedi Pele, the first of the Ayews to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations in 1982 scored a total number of six goals in the competition and he is the only one with an AFCON title.
