FIFA has revised the dates for next months World Cup Qatar 2022 play-offs matches between Ghana and Nigeria.

The fixture which was originally scheduled for Thursday, March 24 and Sunday, March 27, has been moved to Friday, March 25 and Tuesday, March 29, 2022.

The Black stars will need to wrestle past West African rival, Nigeria for a spot in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World at Cape Coast stadium on Friday, March 25, 2022.

The reverse encounter is scheduled at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja at 17:00GMT.

The Senior National team 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.
