Africa Cup of Nations finalists Zambia have arrived in Gabon ahead of Sunday's final against Ivory Coast. 
 
Gabon is a country associated with the darkest day in Zambian football history when a 1993 plane crash killed 18 Zambian footballers off the country's coast.

Now the team is hoping for a fairytale ending to their run in the competition, when a new continental champion will be crowned on Sunday.
