The ultimate of the Africa Cup of Nations is played in Rabat on Sunday night as home team Morocco tackle Senegal.
The ultimate is about after two cagey semis, as Senegal edged past Egypt 1-0 and Morocco needed a penalty shootout to beat Nigeria.
Senegal’s run also saw them beat Sudan 3-1 within the last 16 and Mali 1-0 within the quarter-finals.
Morocco knocked out Tanzania within the last 16, winning 1-0, before beating Cameroon 2-0 within the last eight.
The ultimate can be played on the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, which hosts just wanting 70,000 and can be full for the massive contest.
Senegal won the Africa Cup of Nations as recently as 2021 but Morocco haven’t won the tournament since 1976.
It could be an emotional victory for the Atlas Lions in the event that they were to finish their epic wait for the title on home soil.
