{And here we have it, the first match in the group D of the African Cup of Federation 2021}
{As they say, delay is not denial and the competition may have been delayed, but Nigerian football fans, Egyptian football fans, African football fans and fans all around the world have not been denied the joy of this tournament} the commentator began as the players of the two sides marched out onto the pitch.
{The Supa Eagles of Nigeria versus the Pharoahs of Egypt, ready to battle it out for three points and a winning start in this competition}
{Two of the favorite teams to go far in this competition are ready to give the fans a taste of what is to come. The fans couldn't be any luckier}
While the commentator was doing his tongue gymnastics, the two teams lined up beside the referees and faced the fans to sing the national anthems of their respective country.
A few minutes later, the players of the two sides were arranging themselves across the field.
