Ghana’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Sierra Leone have been called off, Caf has announced.
The October 11 and 14 matches will not hold as scheduled following Sierra Leone’s failure to meet a Fifa deadline
The back-to-back fixtures, originally slated for Thursday and Sunday, have had to be cancelled after Sierra Leone failed to meet a Fifa ultimatum, under which the matches would proceed as planned.
“AFCON Qualifier matches Ghana vs Sierra Leone & Sierra Leone vs Ghana on the 11th and 14th of October respectively have been cancelled as SLFA did not meet the conditions stipulated in the letter sent by CAF on FIFA’s decision to suspend the federation,” Caf announced via its official twitter account on Tuesday night.
