CAF Says “ZAMBIA, Ivory Coast AFCON Final Kick-Off To Be DELAYED”

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have announced that Sunday’s final of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations will be delayed by half an hour because of “technical and logistical reasons”.

The final was to have kicked off at 8pm local time (7pm GMT) but it will now begin at 8.30pm inside the newly-built Stade de l’Amitie in Libreville, Gabon.

Tournament favourites Cote d’Ivoire are gunning for their second  Nations Cup conquests after they first won the competition in 1992, while Zambia will hope to be third time lucky after they lost the championship game in 1974 and 1994.

The Elephants from Abidjan were also beaten finalists in 2006.

Cash prize for the champions is $2 million.

The winners of the tournament preceding the World Cup will also earn the right to fly Africa’s flag at the FIFA Confederations Cup.

The third-placed match will be between four-time winners Ghana and Mali on Saturday in Malabo.

    It can’t be mare coincidence that Zambia reached the finals being played in GARBON where we lost our brothers. Why would this be like this, to just remind us of the pain we suffered? No way! This is for our compersation. Go Zambia Go, lets shoot down the wild elephants…..

    David Vs Goliath. The whole world shall know that Bullets made of copper have rare characteristics. My money is not on Chipolopolo, but my mind and moral support i give to you as Gun powder as you bring down the Elephants with a difference of two goals. Go Zambia! Go!
