Fifa rule Cairo safe for WCup playoff

Football | Egypt

Fifa have ruled that Cairo is safe for a 2014 Africa Zone World Cup playoff between hosts Egypt and Ghana.
Ghana had raised objections to Cairo hosting the return leg playoff after the recent anti-government protests in Egypt.
But officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) said they have since received a Fifa decision that the game be played in Cairo on November 19 after a visit by their security inspection.
Fifa said that the decision by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to go ahead with a November 10 CAF Champions League return leg final in Cairo further shows the situation in Egypt has normalised.


Egypt host Ghana in a return leg of a final World Cup playoff on November 19.
Ghana won the first game in Kumasi 6-1 last month.
