The continent of Africa will be well represented on Sunday, when Mali battle Nigeria in the U-17 World Cup final.
Fifty-two matches from 24 teams has all led to this.
This is the first time in 22 years that two teams from the same confederation will go head-to-head in the final of the U-17 World Cup. The last time, coincidentally, it was another pair of African sides that took the pitch. Nigeria moved past Ghana in 1993 for the second of their four U-17 World Cup crowns.
The Golden Eagles will look to secure a similar fate in Chile.
