After four weeks of showcasing what the continent has to offer, the Africa Cup of Nations is down to a final two.
Hosts Ivory Coast play Nigeria in Sunday’s showpiece final in what has been the most thrilling AFCON in decades.
But what’s made it so good? Has the on-pitch drama been matched by the eyeballs watching the tournament?
And what does AFCON need to do off the pitch to match the success on it?
Host Ayo Akinwolere is joined by former Ivory Coast defender, and 2012 AFCON runner-up, Sol Bamba as well as The Athletic's Jay Harris to discuss and debate what has made AFCON 2023 such a success.
