Ghana vs Nigeria

The venue for Ghana's crucial World Cup playoff against Nigeria is in terrible shape and could force the game to be moved to another stadium. 

The Cape Coast Stadium has been left in terrible condition following the independence day parade on Sunday.

The green grass has suffered severe damage and the surface look brown, making it unplayable.

However, the National Sports Authority will be racing against time to get it in shape before the first leg of the game against Nigeria.

The Black Stars host Nigeria on Friday Match 24 in Cape Coast.

Earlier, Ghana proposed the game be played in either Accra or Kumasi but the decision was rejected by FIFA and the Confederation of African Football.

Ghana played all home games in the group stages of the qualification in Cape Coast.

There are also insinuations that this could be a ploy to move the match to Kumasi.

After the first leg, the Black Stars will travel to Abuja in four days' time for the second leg and the winner of the playoff will progress to the World Cup in Qatar.
