Ebibeyin ( Spanish: Ebibeyín) [1] is a town in the northeastern corner of mainland Equatorial Guinea. It is the capital of the province of Kié-Ntem. [2]
It lies very close to the Equatorial Guinea- Gabon- Cameroon tripoint. It is the end point of three main transport routes coming from Bata, Yaoundé and major cities in central Gabon. Most of the city lies outside the de-jure boundaries of Equatorial Guinea. [3]
Ebibeyin Cathedral is the episcopal see of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ebibeyin.
Ebibeyin was a host city of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, [4] for which the Estadio de Ebibeyin was built.
