Ghana will know its opponent of the playoff round for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on January 26, 2022.
The national team of the West African country finished top of Group G of the African qualifiers last month and hence secured a spot in the playoffs.
Although second-placed South Africa has staged a protest, Ghana is expected to go on as the legitimate group leader per information gathered.
Following a meeting between CAF and FIFA on Thursday, the two football governing bodies have agreed that the draw for the playoff round will be on January 26.
According to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, the last FIFA Rankings will be used during the pairings.
“The CAF Executive Committee met and decided that the last FIFA Rankings in November will be used for the World Cup Draws,” the NFF boss said.
Ghana remains confident of making it to the 2022 FIFA World Cup after missing the last edition in Russia.
