The final of this year’s African Nations Championship, will be contested between hosts Morocco and Nigeria on Sunday.
The game will be played in Casablanca, a day after the bronze medal match between Libya and Sudan in Marrakech.
Morocco were dominant in the first semi-final against Libya with a 3-1 win, a victory that came in extra time.
The Super Eagles narrowly survived in the hands of the Desert Hawks of Sudan with a 1-0 win, after going down to 10 men.
Both countries have never won the biennial competition, which is designed for players plying their trade in Africa’s domestic leagues.
The home-based Super Eagles are also on course for their best finish in the competition, having previously finished third under Stephen Keshi in 2014.
Kick-off time for the match is 8pm (Nigerian time).
