Nigeria vs Ivory Coast: preview
It took a William Troost-Ekong penalty – one that almost ripped the goalposts out of the ground – to separate Nigeria and Ivory Coast in the group stage. Sunday's AFCON 2023 final meeting between the two nations will be a close-run thing.
The Elephants, two-time winners of this competition, have trodden a path so outlandish that neutrals everywhere have fallen head over heels for them. The AFCON hosts were an embarrassment to their country at the end of the group stage, but against all odds they scraped into the knockouts.
Three-time winners Nigeria, meanwhile, haven't quite lived up to expectations, but they keep managing to do just enough. Things haven't quite been happening for African Footballer of the Year Victor Osimhen, but his mere presence has been enough to panic opponents, and the fleet-footed Ademola Lookman and Moses Simon have been able to capitalise for the Super Eagles.
In this guide, we explain how to get a Nigeria vs Ivory Coast live stream and watch Africa Cup of Nations 2023, with the help of a VPN if you're away travelling at the moment.
