Nigeria will this weekend square up against the Black Galaxies of Ghana. The Black Stars stopped the Super Eagles from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Galaxies won the first leg 3-0 in Cape Coast and Daniel Afriyie’s goal was enough to beat the Squirrels 1-0 in the reverse fixture at the Stade de l’Amittie, Cotonou.
Ghana, whose last tournament appearance was in 2014 when they finished as runners-up, will face their West African arch-rivals in the final two-legged Western Zone B play-off this August and September.
The first leg is expected to take place on the weekend of August 26-28 in Cape Coast, while the return leg will be played in Nigeria by the weekend of September 1-3, 2022.
