The Africa Cup of Nations reaches its climax on Sunday with a final showdown between the continents two leading footballing powerhouses as hosts Morocco look to win the title for the first time in 50 years when they take on Sadio Manes Senegal.

The match kicks off at 1900 GMT at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, where almost all of the crowd of 69,000 will be backing a Morocco side captained by African player of the year Achraf Hakimi.

The first AFCON ever to start in one year and end in another could be the second in a row to be won by the host nation, with the Atlas Lions aiming to follow in the footsteps of Ivory Coast, crowned champions in front of their own fans in Abidjan in 2024.
