World football –ruling body, FIFA has effected minor changes in the list of match officials for this month’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 playoff showdown between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Black Stars of Ghana.

In a fresh appointment sheet sent to the Nigeria Football Federation, Moroccans Rédouane Jiyed (referee), Lahsen Azgaou (assistant referee 1), Mostafa Akarkad (assistant referee 2) and Samir Guezzaz (fourth official) are retained for the first leg duel in Cape Coast, but Mandu Humphrey of Uganda has now replaced South African David Junse Van Vuuren as security officer.

        Ghanaians commenting and replying themselves here. With the rate at which they are running to comment on CSN it shows their shit-scared. And I don’t blame them, with their shitty team I’ll be scared too if I was a Ghanaian. Go to Ghana Twitter, they’ve all accepted they don’t stand a chance at all.

  • So, VAR is going to be used in both matches. This is beautiful. It means we will not see a repeat of what happened between Ghana and South Africa. Also, it’s good to know that there is VAR equipment at the MKO Abiola Stadium. Nigeria all the way.

    Pundits have STATED that whenever Nigeria and Ghana plays, history has nothing to do with the ties EXCEPT PERFORMANCE ON THE MATCH DAY….So forget history and focus on the team that will be fielded on the day. Best wishes to the EAGLES
