Ghana will host Nigeria at Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi from 7.30 pm on Friday, March 25, with the reverse leg set for the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday, March 29, from 6pm.
The winner over the two legs will earn one of Africa’s five tickets to the 22nd FIFA World Cup finals, scheduled for November 14 to December 18 this year in Qatar.
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Mr Amaju Melvin Pinnick earlier described the game as a “very serious business,” insisting that everything legal and acceptable is being done for Nigeria to achieve victory.
Pinnick also admitted that the World Cup playoff fixture is a ‘war’ and must be approached with utmost commitment, focus and zero tolerance for tardiness.
He said, “Of course, we are not the ones going into the field. But the arrangements we put in place will, to a large extent, determine the spirit with which the players will enter the pitch. All our arrangements must be flawless and without sloppiness. It is a FIFA World Cup ticket at stake, so we must give it our all.
“Whatever efforts we have been making to ensure seamless movement to and fro, as well as accommodation of our contingent at major matches, must be doubled for the match in Kumasi. Nigerians don’t want to hear any story; they only want to see the World Cup ticket.”
The Super Eagles are the favourite of the two teams with a very good outing at the Africa Cup of Nations barring a football turnover, they should defeat Ghana who compared to them had a poorer outing at the AFCON 2021.
