I'll be taking this review. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 18:59, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
While spelling and grammar are mostly accurate, the prose is often awkward. I will provide specific examples down below, once other issues have been fixed.
Fail. The lead section fails in its main duty - to summarise the most important contents of the page. It, instead, only talks about the background and post-match sections!!!. This must be improved immediately. In addition, it fails MOS:REDUNDANCY - why is an opinion of a not-very-well-known reporter presented as the definitive statement on the match?
MOS:LAYOUT - Hold. The pre-match and team selection sections can be merged. The post match section should be enlarged. The number of single-sentence/single-line paragraphs should be minimized (see MOS:PARA).
MOS:WTW - Hold. As noted, 'biggest party in country's history', being unsourced, fails MOS:PEACOCK. 'Egypt's strategy was to frequently time-waste' - possible breach of MOS:EDITORIAL - using a statement of opinion in an article as a statement of fact on Wikipedia. etc. - will discuss after more egregious problems are fixed.
WP:WAF - N/A
MOS:EMBED - N/A
Some statements, presented as facts, are unsourced. See facts presented in the background section. Also, there isn't any need for the same reference to be repeated for every match event - see WP:TOOMANYREFS. One citation of that Guardian source at the end of a paragraph, with additional citations for claims that weren't made in that source, should do.
Marca saying that the post-match parade was 'the biggest party in the country's history' is likely hyperbole, unless you can find specific figures that say it was bigger than every Independence Day celebration, for example. Will go through sources to check WP:V soon.
Will check the article thoroughly later to make sure no incidents of WP:SYN.
I have moved the Olembe stadium image to the main body, and have implemented File:2021 Africa Cup of Nations Final Poster.jpg which I uploaded and tagged, for the main infobox image. I did this without waiting because it is a fair-use image, with all that entails.
If you need inspiration, I would suggest looking at articles such as 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, 2019 AFC Asian Cup Final and 2005 UEFA Champions League Final as examples of comparable-size football events which have achieved GA-class or higher. You need to be near the standard exhibited by these articles, which this article is not, at the moment.

@ AirshipJungleman29:, Thank you for the detailed review. I noticed the match poster that you uploaded had been tagged as "non-free" at Wikimedia Commons. I also originally wrote the lead and tried to cover the entire article in this revision, (although it wasn't perfect and could have used some improvements as well), but another editor removed most of its content, and it was my fault for neglecting to add it back. I will work on the issues that you mentioned as much as I can. ArsenalGhanaPartey ( talk) 15:57, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay, @ ArsenalGhanaPartey:. I will go through the article now. Lead
Background
More to come. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 23:35, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
@ ArsenalGhanaPartey:, please note that I have substantially edited the pre-match section for better paragraphing — please let me know if there is anything you disagree with. I will be busy tomorrow, but I should provide further notes on Thursday. Thanks for bearing with me. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 01:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Route to the Final
Done with all. ArsenalGhanaPartey ( talk) 15:03, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Done. ArsenalGhanaPartey ( talk) 15:04, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

A further few touches after these and GA status should be a formality.

Appeared as a bold link on ITN and is thus ineligible for DYK.
Improved to Good Article status by ArsenalGhanaPartey ( talk). Self-nominated at 16:18, 20 April 2022 (UTC).
An article is ineligible for DYK if it has previously appeared on the main page as bold link in "Did you know", "In the news", or the prose section of "On this day".The article's talk page shows it was featured as the bold link in a hook in the "In the News" section on 11 February 2022, posted at the conclusion of the tournament in accordance with WP:ITN/R. The article does look very good, though, and congratulations on the GA. PCN02WPS ( talk | contribs) 15:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
