Champs, the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations is coming to a close, with a month of captivating competition in Cameroon set to reach a climax when two nations compete for the right to be crowned the continental king.

24 countries, with some gracing AFCON for the first time, started out in pursuit of glory, but a battle for ultimate glory will be contested by just a pair of ambitious teams.

The AFCON 2021 final is set to be a scintillating showdown between Senegal and Egypt, and a meeting between star Liverpool strikers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, with the Pharaohs chasing a record-extending eighth African crown while Senegal continue their search for their first title.

Senegal defeated Burkina Faso 3-1 in the semi-final, in which Mane scored the third and final goal, while Egypt booked their spot in the final by winning a penalty shootout against Cameroon.

The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations final will take place on Sunday, February 6th, 2022 and will kick off at 8pm (Nigerian time). The battle for continental supremacy will be staged at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon. Meanwhile, Cameroon will face Burkina Faso in Saturday's third-place play-off, which also kicks off at 8pm (Nigerian time).
