2022 FIFA World Cup Playoff: CAF Approves 60,000 Fans For Nigeria Versus Ghana 

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has given approval to Nigeria to have 60,000 spectators for the FIFA World Cup playoff second leg tie against Ghana.

The Super Eagles will lock horns with the Black Stars of Ghana for the FIFA World Cup ticket at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.

The first leg of the encounter ended goalless at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi last Friday.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made the request to have 60,000 spectators at the stadium for the crucial encounter and was promptly granted by CAF.

The last time the Black Stars visited Nigeria in a World Cup qualification fixture, was in 2001 and they suffered a 3-0 defeat in Port Harcourt.

The Black Stars are expected to depart Ghana on Monday morning via a chartered flight for Tuesday’s game at the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja.

The Ghanaians were initially expected to arrive Sunday evening but their travelling plans was later altered.
