Ivory Coast coach Francois Zahoui named an unchanged side for Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations final.
His Zambian counterpart, Herve Renard, recalled Emmanuel Mayuka, attached to Swiss side Young Boys, after his starring role in getting the decisive goal in the 1-0 semi-final win over Ghana.
Russian-based midfielder Chisamba Lungu came on for Francis Kasonde.
Ivory Coast are seeking to win their second title after a 20 year gap, while Zambia are aiming to make it third time lucky after finishing runners-up in 1974 and 1994.
Mayuka is vying to end the competition as top scorer. He goes into the 1930GMT kick-off tied on three goals with teammate Christopher Katongo and Ivorian captain Didier Drogba.
