AFCON Final LIVE stream and TV channel info: How to watch Senegal vs Algeria in Africa Cup of Nations online

The final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations is almost upon us, with Senegal set to take on Algeria at the Cairo International Stadium in Egypt.

These two nations also met during the group stage, with Algeria winning 1-0 thanks to Youcef Belaili's strike to clinch a place in the last 16.

The Desert Foxes previously won this tournament back in 1990, while Senegal are looking to lift the trophy for the very first time, having been defeated in their only previous final appearance 17 years ago.

Algeria comfortably topped Group C and easily dispatched Guinea in the first knockout round before a nervy penalty shootout victory over the Ivory Coast was followed by a dramatic semi-final defeat of Nigeria that saw Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez steer home a last-gasp free-kick.

Sadio Mane and Senegal, meanwhile, secured three consecutive 1-0 wins over Uganda, Benin and Tunisia (AET) after progressing from the group stage.

The Lions of Teranga will crucially be without key defender Kalidou Koulibaly for the final due to suspension.

Mane and Mahrez - along with Adam Ounas - are still in the running for the Golden Boot, but would have to score twice to share the award with Odion Ighalo, who netted for the fifth time to clinch third place for Nigeria on Wednesday.

Here is how to follow the final live...
