Egypt book Nov.19 for Ghana clash

Egypt have tabled November 19 to face Ghana in the second leg of the World Cup qualifying play-off.

The Egyptian FA said it is yet to decide on the venue for the fixture following the ongoing political crisis in the north African country.

The seven-time Africa champions will start their preparations for the crucial clash against the Black Stars in the first leg of the World Cup qualifying playoff on September 26.

The first leg will take place on October 15 in Kumasi at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

The Pharaohs have not been to the World Cup since 1990, while Ghana are aiming at their third successive appearance, having reached the quarter-finals in their last appearance in 2010.
