The line up for the Sunday’s final of the African Cup of Nations is complete as Egypt and Ghana go head-to-head for the continental title.

Egypt will be defending its Nations Cup title as they will try to win a third successive African final and a seventh overall.

For Ghana won the last of its four titles in 1982, the final is an opportunity to attempt a fifth championship.

The match in Luanda will be the first time both sides will be meeting in the finals of the competition.

Ghana advanced to the final for the first time in 18 years, defeating Nigeria 1-0 courtesy an Asamoah Gyan goal in the 21st minute with Egypt producing a 4-0 win over Algeria in the other semi-final clash.

Nigeria and Algeria will meet in the third-place playoff on Saturday at Benguela.
