BUILD-UP
After many adrenaline-packed clashes, a record number of goals, unrelenting shocks and an apparent capacity for unceasing drama, the Africa Cup of Nations will finish today Sunday 11th February 2024 when either hosts Ivory Coast or fellow former champions Nigeria will be crowned kings of Africa.
The Super Eagles are aiming for a 4th continental crown in Abidjan while the Ivorians are looking to add to their triumphs in 1992 and 2015.
The teams will meet for the second time at this year's finals, 24 days after the Ivorians suffered a first-ever home defeat by Nigeria when they won 1-0 in the group stage.
The Elephants are the first host nation to reach the final since Egypt in 2006, with five of the last six hosts to have contested the final having gone on to lift the trophy - the only exception being the Super Eagles themselves in 2000.
