Egypt relied on a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Burkina Faso to make it to this stage, while Cameroon cruised to a surprisingly comfortable 2-0 victory over Ghana. However, history is on Egypt's side: their seven AFCON trophies are more than any other side in history; however, with four titles, Cameroon are joint-second. It should be a very intriguing encounter.

Three big things to know
1. Egypt last won this tournament in 2010, having also tasted success in 2008 and 2006. However, they failed to qualify for the three subsequent editions, and are hoping to return to glory in Gabon on Sunday. Their record in the finals of this tournament is remarkable, and they’ll hope to maintain their conversion rate this time around.
2. Cameroon have reached the final in spite of several of their players withdrawing from the tournament. Liverpool’s Joël Matip and Schalke’s Eric Choupo-Moting were chief among those to pull out in order to stay with their domestic teams. Their achievement in spite of this is highly impressive.
3. Egypt coach Héctor Cuper will have to overcome his bad luck in major finals if he’s to taste success here. He achieved notoriety in reaching a combined three European finals with Real Mallorca and Valencia, though lost them all. The Argentine will be hoping fortune finally favors his side on Sunday.
