The Super Eagles will take on Ghana’s Black Stars in the second leg of the World Cup play off. The titan clash will hold at the Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, on March 27.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, in a statement, said: “It has confirmed March 27 date of the reverse leg to the Confederation of African Football, with the Ghana Football Association now to confirm whether the first leg inside the Cape Coast Stadium will be on March 23 or March 24.
“The final leg encounter will be the 59th clash at senior level between both West African giants in a chequered 71-year rivalry, and will also be the first game involving the Super Eagles at the country’s premium sporting arena since the Eagles defeated Sudan’s Falcons of Jediane 3-1 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on October 15, 2014.
“Nigeria reached the play-off round after topping a qualifying pool that included Cape Verde, Liberia and the Central African Republic while Ghana emerged from the section that had South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia.”
