Here we go then, the teams gather around the centre circle for a moment of silence to honour the victims of the Ebola Virus epidemic.

The crowd inside Nuevo Estadio de Ebebiyín have clapsticks aplenty and are making a heap of noise. First game jitters for anyone? Time to deliver...

BBC Sport's Alex South in Ebebiyin: Lots of fans trying to get into the Estadio de Ebebiyin without tickets. Majority want to buy but there are no ticket offices around the stadium. Police are trying to get the fans with tickets inside but the queues are growing in size and frustration.

BBC Sport's John Bennett:, external It's harder now to spot little known, emerging stars at an AFCON but look out for DRC's Firmin Ndombe Mubele. Huge potential.

Plenty of British interest in this first Group B match with Crystal Palace's Yannick Bolasie and West Brom's Youssouf Mulumbu starting for DR Congo and Southampton striker Emmanuel Mayuka in for Zambia. Peterborough United defender Gabriel Zakuani is on the bench for DR Congo.

Zambia: Mweene, Nkausu, Mbola, Mtonga, Sunzu, Sinkala, Singuluma, Lungu, Kalaba, Kampamba, Mayuka

DR Congo: Muteba, Djos, Kilichio, Mpela, Mongongu, Mbemba, Mulumbu, Kage, Bezua, Ndombe, Bolasie

BBC Sport's Alex South in Ebebiyin: "What did I say about an orderly cue. As the Ebola screening means fans are only being allowed in a few at a time, frustration is building amongst supporters trying to get in the ground. As soon as there looked like there might be trouble the police in their riot gear moved in. I'm not sure it's calming the situation but it seems under control."

Now then, let's just clear one thing up as we did yesterday.

Today we see DR Congo - that's the Democratic Republic of Congo - take on Zambia. This is an all together different team to Congo, who drew 1-1 with Equatorial Guinea yesterday.

And by the way, don't confuse Equatorial Guinea with Guinea, who play Ivory Coast on Tuesday.

Hope we cleared that up.

BBC World's Alex South in Ebibeyin: Form an orderly cue! The fans are being very well behaved outside the Estadio de Ebebiyin. You may notice it's only women in this cue. For some reason the men are separated. Supporters are only being allowed in 10 at a time for Ebola checks.

Egypt haven't qualified for the tournament since winning it in 2010.

Zambia recorded a stunning shock to lift the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations trophy, beating Ivory Coast 8-7 on penalties after a goalless final.

The team, known as Chipolopolo - which translates to the Bullets - are unbeaten in 11 AFCON matches as they drew all three group games in the 2013 tournament, sending them out.

Now then, first can I air some personal frustration?

Those of you who have seen the classic 1988 film Coming to America will know all about Eddie Murphy's mission to leave his throne as prince of Zamunda, to move to America in order to find love.

Now extensive AFCON research has seen us scour the continent and it turns out Zamunda was an entirely fictional place. This angered me.

Anyway, today we see two very real countries get our action underway and as you can see by the map, they neighbour one another, so it could be tasty...

Now as we have just touched on a memorable African Football moment, let's ask you for the players - good or bad - who stick in your memory.

Today we want your suggestions on who you deem the greatest and worst African players you have ever seen.

It's Sunday, it's Africa Cup of Nations day two and, in some way at least, we kick-off with the nation that gave us this...

Yes, who could forget Mwepu Ilunga racing from the wall for Zaire - now DR Congo - in 1974 to blast a Brazil free-kick clear before the referee had blown his whistle. In some way, I think we are all indebted to him and the Democratic Republic of Congo for such a wonderful moment.

Today, they take on Zambia - shock winners of this tournament in 2012 - at 15:00 GMT, before Tunisia against Cape Verde at 19:00 GMT.

Let's go for it, just like our man Mwepu...
