When is the Africa Cup of Nations 2022 final? Kick-off time, third-place playoff, where to watch

The Africa Cup of Nations is set to conclude on Sunday in this year's final between Senegal and Egypt.

Senegal, who have never won the competition, take on seven-time champions Egypt after qualifying for the final following a dominant 3-1 win over Burkino Faso in midweek.

Hosts Cameroon were then defeated by the Pharaohs on Thursday night in a close encounter that needed to be settled by a penalty shootout.

Chelsea's Edouard Mendy, Crystal Palace's Cheikou Kouyate, on-loan Tottenham youngster Pape Matar Sarr and Watford forward Ismaila Sarr are amongst the Senegalese squad looking to make history, whilst Arsenal's Mohamed Elneny will be desperate to win a first AFCON of his own having finished as a runner-up with Egypt in 2017.

It's destined to be an entertaining final, and with that in mind, football.london is on hand to provide you with all the details you need to know ahead of the final weekend.

Will there be a third-place playoff?
