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.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Football Federation, on Tuesday, confirmed the date of the reverse leg to the Confederation of African Football.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The final leg encounter will be the 59th clash at senior level between both West African giants in a chequered 71-year rivalry.<\/p>\n

It will also be the first game involving the Super Eagles at the country\u2019s premium sporting arena since the Eagles defeated Sudan\u2019s Falcons of Jediane 3-1 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on October 15, 2014.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"\nSuper Eagles, Black Stars renew 71-yr rivalry with March 27 clash -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/odidiomo.com\/news\/super-eagles-black-stars-renew-71-yr-rivalry-with-march-27-clash\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Super Eagles, Black Stars renew 71-yr rivalry with March 27 clash -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/odidiomo.com\/news\/super-eagles-black-stars-renew-71-yr-rivalry-with-march-27-clash\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ODIDI OMO -
