ACCRA SET TO HOST GROUP 11 FINALE

-Togo will host Swaziland in Accra, Ghana on October 11 in the two sides final 2010 World/ Africa Cup Group 11 qualifier.

National Football Association of Swaziland  CEO Frederick Mngometulu told the Swaziland Observer newspaper on Thursday that the crucial away game against Togo will be played at Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra.

This is because Togo are still banned from playing any competitive international games at home by Caf following crowd trouble in Lome last year.

Swaziland , 2nd in Group 11 on 4 points after playing 3 games, beat Togo 2-1 in the 1st leg played on June 8 and must beat their hosts to go level on 7 points with leaders Zambia to take to the wire which team goes to the 2nd round final group stage qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.

Togo are bottom of the 3-team Group 11 with 3 points from as many games played in the qualifiers.

It will be the second time Togo will be playing host to a Group 11 opponent in Accra after beating Zambia 1-0 at the same venue in the two teams opening pool game played on May 31.

CAF banned Togo from playing all international matches at Lome’s Kégué Stadium last year.

This followed crowd trouble during Togo’s 2008 Africa Cup Group 9 qualifiers against Mali on October 12 that the hosts lost 2-0.

Togo did not qualify for this years Africa Cup after finishing third in Group 9 behind Mali and Benin who both reached the Ghana tournament as group winners and best runner-up respectively.

  3. Zambia the problems it all comes to mathematics at the end o qualify. we should be like Nigeria or cameroonn the teams that like quialifying in advance with even two games to spare. in this way u use the tournament to prepare / try out other players. thats why we end up putting too much pressure on key players at crucial stage of qualifiers.

    Look at nigeria (9ja), they beat south africa 1 – 0 with a second string developmental team in south africa.

  4. Zambia the problems is it all comes to mathematics at the end of the qualifiers. we should be like Nigeria or cameroonn the teams that work hard and qualify in advance with even two games to spare. In this way u use the tournament to prepare / try out other players for the remaining competitive games. The zambian team end up putting too much pressure on key players at crucial stage of qualifiers because of this mathematics.

    Look at nigeria (9ja), they beat south africa 1 – 0 with a second string developmental team in south africa. they afforded the luxury because they had topped their group with no one having a chance to catch them.

  5. Mudala Kalu, I want to come and help you organise football in the country.Consider me for the Job to administer football in the country.
