Nigeria To Battle Ghana In Qatar 2022 World Cup Playoffs (Full fixtures)

Nigeria will battle Ghana in Qatar 2022 World Cup playoffs. 

Glamtush reports that Nigeria, the top performers so far in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, were paired with arch-rivals Ghana in the African World Cup play-offs draw in Douala on Saturday.

This was confirmed on Saturday after the draw was conducted in Douala, Cameroon.

Ghana will have home advantage first and both legs will be played between March 21 and 29 with the aggregate winners securing a place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Egypt will face Senegal, Cameroon meets Algeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo play Morocco and Mali tackle Tunisia in the other ties.

Only Mali among the 10 contenders have never qualified for the world football showpiece while Cameroon hold the record for appearances by an African team with seven between 1982 and 2014.

Nigeria is seeking to qualify for the World Cup a seventh time and, since 1994, have missed only one of seven editions. The last of three appearances by Ghana was in 2014.

Algeria, the defending champions and early departees from the tournament, will face Cameroon, another in-form team with captain Vincent Aboubakar scoring five times in three group games.

 

See below the full result of Saturday’s draw:
