Ghana’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 play-off 1st leg against Nigeria will take place at the Cape Coast stadium on Thursday, March 24, 2022.

The 1st leg encounter will be the 58th clash at senior level between the two West African countries in a rivalry spanning seven decades.

Ghana reached the play-off round after topping a qualifying pool that included South Africa, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia.

The Black stars would be aiming to appease their fans by earning a fourth World Cup appearance after a disappointing elimination from the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon. Ghana have qualified for three FIFA World Cup tournaments; 2006, 2010, and 2014.

Whereas, the Super Eagles of Nigeria will be hoping to qualify for the global football showpiece for the seventh time and, since 1994, have missed only one of seven editions.

The match is scheduled for 19:00Hrs kick off.
