It is a particularly anticipated shock between neighbors. Saturday December 18 from 4 p.m., Algeria will face Tunisia, in Doha in Qatar, for the supreme coronation in the final of the Arab Cup.

Tunisia, winner in 1963, will seek to secure a second title in the competition. The Carthage Eagles reached the final after beating Egypt on an own goal from Egyptian captain El Soulia in the 95th minute. On an impressive series of victories, and unbeaten in the competition, Algeria will be keen to go for the first Arab Cup in its history. Reigning African champions, the Fennecs reached the semi-final by defeating Qatar, with a goal of Youcef Belaïli in the 106th minute of play and at the end of a completely crazy meeting.
