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.
