Ghana and Egypt held the all-time record for most grande finale appearances at the African Cup of Nations – nine appearances each.
But after reaching the 2021 AFCON final, Egypt went a step ahead with their tenth final reached.
The Pharaohs – the most successful national team in Africa with seven AFCON titles – have only lost two final matches in 1962 to Ethiopia and in 2017 against Cameroon in Gabon.
The Black Stars have won four and lost AFCON finals. Ghana were successful in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982.
Ghana have been losing finalists in 1968, 1970, 1992, 2010 and 2015.
Egypt take on Senegal in the final of the 2021 AFCON on Sunday. A victory for the North Africans will see them extend their record to eight honors whilst Senegal will be hoping to win their first ever continental trophy.
