African Cup of Nations 2019 live stream: how to watch final football online from anywhere
And then there were two to find the continent's kings of football
Senegal or Algeria. Who's your tip to win the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Friday's final in Egypt? Regardless of where you are on the planet, our guide below for getting an African Cup of Nations 2019 live stream will ensure you don’t miss a kick.
First held in 1957 with just three countries taking part, the 32nd biannual African Cup of Nations will see 24 sides go for glory this year. Notable for the often end-to-end attacking styles of its participating teams, there's rarely a dull match during AFCON.
Running from June 21 to July 19 across Egypt, the tournament marks the first time the African Cup of Nations will be played in the summer after the CAF decided to move it from being held in January and February.
The competition takes place over 52 matches around six venues in four cities across the country - from Cairo International Stadium in the capital to Alexandria Stadium, Egypts oldest stadium.
Possibly the biggest shock so far came in the round of 16 Mohamed Salah and hosts Egypt were knocked out of the competition by South Africa.
At least Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane's Senegal have made it through unscathed. Senegal have never won the AFCON but are one of the favourites this year, with many tipsters expecting a side that feature's Mane and Napoli's towering centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly to do well.
Algeria won the African Cup of Nations for the only time way back in 1990 and this is their first final since. They needed a 95th minute winner from Manchester City man Riyad Mahrez and will now fancy their chances to upset the somewhat unconvincing Senegalese.
As well as shifting to the summer, this year's tournament is a much longer competition having been expanded to host 24 teams for the first time. Its a change which may play a factor for some of the star players on show who will have had lengthy seasons in Europe.
If you want to know where you'll be able to watch every single match, we'll tell you exactly where you can catch them online with our African Cup of Nations 2019 live stream guide.
