Nigeria and Ghana will face off in a pitched battle at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Sunday, March 27, in what is the final leg of a potentially explosive FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 play-off round.
The Nigeria Football Federation, on Tuesday, confirmed the date of the reverse leg to the Confederation of African Football.
Ghana Football Association will now confirm whether the first leg inside the Cape Coast Stadium will be on Wednesday, March 23 or Thursday, 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.
It 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.
