1535: So time for a quick briefing. Egypt are on the rolls of all rolls, looking for their third Africa Cup of Nations title on the bounce and having won their last 18 matches in the tournament. Ghana, meanwhile, are without many of their established stars but have shown the same strength of will that saw their youth side win the U-20 World Cup back in October. Five of that squad start this evening in Luanda so they know something about winning the big ones.
1530: Although the Confederation of African Football has done its best to overshadow the Africa Cup of Nations final with its ludicrous banning of Togo from the next two tournaments, shall we stick to the script? Good. It's Ghana v Egypt and no matter which team wins, their respective stories should hopefully ensure that this spectacle ends on a heart-warming note.
