Nigeria, Ivory Coast Meet In AFCON final

Following the victory against the Bafanabafana of South Africa, the Super Eagles of Nigeria will play
Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final following their 1-0 victory over DR Congo.

However, it is the first time since 2015 that Ivory Coast has reached the final of AFCON. They won the tournament in that year.

Recall that Ivory Coast, the host nation of AFCON, had earlier sacked former manager Jean-Louis Gasset midway through the tournament after two consecutive group-stage losses to Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea.

The AFCON final takes place this Sunday at Alassane Ouattara Stadium.
