Nigeria vs Ivory Coast on TV? Channel, start time and how to watch AFCON final online

Nigeria will play Ivory Coast on Sunday as the two nations battle to be crowned African champions in the AFCON finals.

Nigeria had steamrolled most of the way through a tense semi-final against South Africa, which ended in a penalty shoot-out and Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho scored the winner.

Hosts Ivory Coast made a disappointing start to the tournament, sacking their head coach Jean-Louis Gasset following a 4-0 loss to Equatorial Guinea. However, they qualified for the knockout stages as the third-best team, where they faced champions Senegal, much-loved Mali and D.R.

Nigeria are aiming for their fourth AFCON title, while Ivory Coast can clinch their third if they can end their unusual campaign with a win in the capital, Abidjan.
