Nigeria were the overwhelming favourites after eliminating the tournament favourites Cote Di'voire in the Semi final and they opponents Zambia suprised many by reaching the final after the plane disaster. Nigeria had big stars the likes of Victor Ikpeba, Steven Keshi, Ben Iroha, Jay Jay, Rashidi Yekeni, Daniel Amukachi etc while the only big name in the Zambian set up was King Kalu and maybe the Malitoli brothers. The only player who played in SA was Zetti Saileti from Manning Rangers.
