The Elephants, who are seeking their third continental title, will face the Super Eagles, who are aiming for their fourth, in a rematch of their group stage encounter, which ended in a 1-0 victory in favor of Nigeria.
Fae said he was satisfied with his team’s performance in the tournament so far, especially in the semi-final, where they defeated DR Congo 1-0.
