The GFA has also been asked to name the match day and kick-off time for the first-leg clash of the match that will decide who will qualify for the 2014 World Cup.

The first-leg of the play-offs, which Ghana will host, must be played between October 11 – 15 and the West Africans must make a decision on the venue for the match.
