The Africa Cup of Nations champions will be crowned on Sunday when hosts Ivory Coast face Nigeria in the final at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan on Sunday.
The tournament has been full of drama, excitement, stoppage-time goals, VAR interventions and incredible storylines.
This year's edition will come to be regarded as one of the greatest of all time and the final is set to be a fascinating encounter.
Nigeria advanced through the semi-finals by defeating South Africa after a thrilling penalty shoot-out after 1-1 draw after extra time.
It has been a much more dramatic journey for the Ivorians. The hosts sacked their head coach in the group stages after being on the verge of elimination before getting through to the knockout stages, knocking out defending champions Senegal and seeing off DR Congo in the semi-finals.
Both nations met in the group stages with Nigeria claiming a 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast courtesy of a penalty from captain William Troost-Ekong.
Will Nigeria come out on top once again on Sunday to become four-time champions or will Ivory Coast complete a sensational turnaround to win the tournament?
We take a look at the potential factors that will decide who will be crowned the Kings of Africa on Sunday.
