Ghana and Nigeria are both aiming to cap remarkable revivals by winning the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations champions when they meet in a final that few thought possible in Cape Coast on Sunday evening.

These are two of the most succesful nations in the history of the West African football.They have met 49 times where Ghana has won 19 times and Nigeria 11 times.

Ghana who are the hosts: from the statistics have looked strong contenders throughout the tournament and this will be their second final apperance in recent years having beaten Senegal 3-1 back in 2013.

Nigeria have not exactly been a joy to watch as they have build their success under a rock of solid defence that confronted a tough Benin in the semi-finals edging the Squirrels 1-0.This will be Super Eagles third WAFU final apperance and they have only won it once in 2010.

Both side have met once in this WAFU tournament where Nigeria emerged victorious when they beat Black Stars 2-0 in final Group A match on Monday.

Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu insists that his side is more than capable of claiming revenge against the Super Eagles when the teams meet again in the final.

“We will be very prepared for Nigeria. They beat us last time so we have to come out strong to turn the table against them come Sunday,” he said at the post-match conference.

“They are a very good side, but we have to fight very hard.

“You know we are the defending champions, but that now belongs to history. Sunday will be a new chapter we have to open and we will do so by trying to beat Nigeria.

“The last time (we met), we had issues as regards injuries, but I hope we have all the players fit on Sunday and we will come very, very strong against Nigeria.

“It won’t be an easy game, they won’t find it easy as well.”

Kanodu has avery young squad that has recovered well after tough semis and ready for the the game at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sundsy,kick off at 1800hrs local time.
