2018 World Cup: Ghana to play Canada friendly in Washington NOT New Jersey
Ghana’s planned pre-2018 World Cup qualifying friendly with Canada next month will be played in the American capital of Washington and not New Jersey.
The Black Stars are planning to play the North American country in next month’s international FIFA friendly date in the United States.
There were reports that the match - scheduled for Tuesday, October 13 - will be played in New Jersey's Red Bull Arena.
However, the spokesman for the match agent in charge of the game Charles N. Ntiamoah-Mensah says the game will be played at the renowned RFK Stadium in Washington.
The venue is the current home of MLS side DC United.
The kick off time is 19.00 (7pm Eastern Standard Time).
Organisers have told Ghana’s leading football news website that the match was originally scheduled for 13 October and that there has been no change of date for the game.
A press conference has been scheduled for next week in Canada for the federation to announce the friendly with Ghana and its details.
Ghana will use the match in preparation for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers which start in November.
The Black Stars will play the winner of the match between Lesotho and Comoros.
