In the case of the Pharaohs win the team title, go down in history as the first of its doors wider to achieve team won the championship three times in a row after he was crowned a hero to the continent in 2006 when they hosted the tournament at home, and then defended it successfully after two years in Ghana.
With the enormous experience owned most of the Egyptian players, as well as fun and sophisticated performance by the team since the start of the tournament under the leadership of "teacher" Hassan Shehata achieving three successive victories in the first round, followed by victory over Cameroon in the quarter-finals, and a heroic performance against Algeria In the semifinals, the balance seems Egyptians are probably in the confrontation against Ghana.
But the task will not be easy for the Pharaohs, despite the lack of most elements of Ghana's experience playing in such big tournaments, with an average age of most of their regulars twenty-three years, they have made the youth so far the level of the most remarkable during the tournament.
The players have a strong motivation to win in this final is the honor of re-team the Black Stars African on the podium for the first time in 28 years, in addition of course to the desire of these young players to prove themselves and get a place in the list of Ghana during the World Cup next summer .
Will he succeed in overcoming the experience of the Pharaohs Hamas Ghanaian young people and overcome the last obstacle to the achievement of African achievement unprecedented?, Whatever the outcome of the game, that's certainly Staunton on Sunday will not be without the excitement of the existence of a significant difference in the way teams play and the possibilities of individual players.
Proved Egypt coach Hassan Shehata had made it abundantly clear that it is not one of the best coaches in the history of Egyptian football, but in the history of the continent, since he took charge of the Pharaohs in 2004 succeeded the "teacher" in the development of tactical solutions to meet the stronger teams of Africa comprising the ranks the most prominent players in Europe, and led them to the podium twice in a row.
To reaffirm national trainers to give the Egyptian leadership team always give the most successful results, as was demonstrated by him, Mahmoud El-Gohary during the nineties when he led the team for the 1990 World Cup in Italy, winning the African Cup of Nations in 1998 in Burkina Faso. While the performance of the team always disappoint with foreign coaches such as Italian Marco Tardelli and Ruud Kroll and Frenchman Gerard Gili.
During the tournament Shehata gave a lesson in how to exploit the possibilities for players to optimize within the green rectangle, and substitutions always had a positive impact on the outcome of games, perhaps the clearest evidence of this player Mohammed Naji "Guido", which is currently leading the Asian Games tournament with four goals, although he did not participate in any game Kosaci.
Was the beginning of the Egyptian team in the tournament in the very heart of where the force came from behind to beat Nigeria to win by three goals, nominated by many from the outset to achieve the title, players gain confidence in the investigators to win the next two games on each of the outcome of Mozambique, Benin and one (2 - zero), to be working only achieve the full nine points in the first round.
In the quarter finals was a difficult test against Cameroon in the final restoration in 2008, and the front of the line a strong attack led by Samuel Eto'o, Inter Milan star, but the team had to withstand the Pharaohs, and then came from behind, Ahmed Hassan was able to modify the result and the two teams played two games during which the additional resolution of the Egyptians win entitlement.
The test more difficult to come in before the final against Algeria, where the Egyptians made their presentations and a stronger won to avenge Camoranesi helps ice cool at the same time the desert warriors who took them card World Cup South Africa two months ago in a playoff in the Sudan.
The team proved through his previous offers to the Egyptian team that knows how to play under pressure, including from the experience of belonging and enormous potential in all lines.
Sieol how much the team in the final match on the experience of goalkeeper Essam Al-Hadari most guards continent in recent years, which has not received conceded only two goals so far in the tournament.
They will be without defensive player Mahmoud Fathallah is suspended for two yellow cards, is expected to be replaced by veteran Abdul Zahir Sakka or Motasem Salem Ismaily star, playing beside him and Wael Gomaa, who made a great effort in the last two games, limped off in the confrontation against Algeria, before proving tests it was able to catch up to face Ghana.
Both sides of the defense, Ahmed Al-Muhammadi on the right and the left Sayed Moawad, excellent forward during the tournament particularly in terms of the performance of the role of the offensive in the last two encounters, note that the participation of Mouawad was yet due to an injury during training.
While the Egyptian masses will be held high hopes of a heroic performance of the new Midfield maestro Ahmed Hassan, after his remarkable level since the start of the tournament to become the leading candidate for best player.
The front of the efforts of Vsevikd Emad tired because of injury, to be on the Shehata rely either on or Mr. Rauf Ahmed Hamdi to support the second striker Mohamed Zidan.
Has long been considered Ghana's - or his "Black Stars" as fans call him - the most prominent African teams, but the team failed to prove that the continental level during the last three decades, was the glory days of the truth in the sixties and seventies, and the last was in his coronation in 1982 when he earned for his fourth title in the African Cup of Nations in Libya.
Despite the achievement of Ghana for many global achievements during the same period the level of the youth teams and youth, it could never transfer this success to the senior level.
Even in the period in which the team includes the continent's brightest stars, such as Abedi Pele and Anthony Yeboah, the most visible outcome of a second in the 1992 edition in Senegal after the loss in the final on penalties to the Côte d'Ivoire.
But it seems that the policy interest in sectors of youth and young people finally began to bear fruit, in 2006 in Germany, Ghana, the first recorded appearance in the World Cup, reaching the second round before exiting in front of Brazil, and then given strong performances when it hosted the Nations Cup Africa in 2008 with a third place.
To come championship in 2010 in Angola for more successes, despite the absence of a large number of stars from Ghana tournament, led by Michael Essien (Chelsea star) who has been injured in the first game against Cote d'Ivoire, Hahm black stars in the final.
Unlike the "teacher" run Serbian coach Milan Raiivach first experiences on the continent, he does not have any previous experience at the level of training teams, and limited experience to train a number of clubs, most notably the Serbian Red Star Belgrade.
Raiivach took over as coach of Ghana in August 2008 and has lead him to the 2010 World Cup from a group of Mali, Benin and Sudan.
In the tournament, the first result of falling 1-3 to Cote d'Ivoire, after the team had penile rest in the second round due to the withdrawal of Togo, Raiivach made several changes in the team to face the last in the first round against Burkina Faso, although the performance was has been convincing team is important to win with free of charge to qualify for the quarter-finals.
In a tough game against Angola landlady kept his composure the team was not interested in earth pressure factor and the public in addition to problems with the Organizing Committee and the Security of Angola, to win in a difficult to record without charge Asamoah Gyan. The same scenario in the semi-final against Nigeria by the same score and also through the dangerous Jian.
Since the installation of the starting lineup of the Burkina Faso game depends on the Serbian coach has nine players over the age of 25 years, with two experienced keeper Richard Kingson (31 years) and right defender Hans Sarpei (33 years).
But goalkeeper Kingson may miss the final because of injury, and thus will be the coach, the use of one of Daniel Adjei or Philemon McCarthy, both active in the local league.
As featured in the heart of the defense players and young men I Adi Isaac Vorsah where you do not receive goalkeeper Kingson any target during their time in the last three games, and in the right players is another distinct Samuel Incom assists for the occasional serious.
In the middle lies the danger of Ghana in a player creator Kwadwo Asamoah, who drew attention to strongly during the tournament, which is a professional Italian club Udinese, at the time it was reported that the desire of clubs Chelsea and Arsenal in access to services. André also owns the legendary star's son, Ayo Abedi Pele many of the skills may pose a severe discomfort for the defense of Egypt.
The attack is the most dangerous lines of Ghana despite the lack of goals scored in the tournament, and the reason is the great potential of the players Asamoah Gyan one of the stars the French league this season with Rennes, in addition to the young star Ageyman Opoku.
Previous confrontations:
Return the beginning of the confrontations between the teams official to Egypt and Ghana in the late fifties of the last century when the teams met in Olympic qualifier Rome, and Egyptian team has won at home 2-1, lost 2-0 outside, but lead the group to qualify for the Olympics, then the team included players such as rose Alphenageli and Raafat Attia and Mahmoud El-Gohary.
At the level of African Cup of Nations teams, meeting only twice did not work during which the Egyptian team to win,
The first was in the first round of the championship in 1970 in Sudan which ended in a 1-1 draw, while the second encounter came after 22 years in the first round of 1992 in Senegal and Ghana has time to win without Tony Yeboah for his record.
