Ethiopia will host Ghana at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa for the matchday 5 of the 2022 World Cup qualifying match next month.

The match was initially scheduled to be staged at the Bahir Dar Stadium but the Confederations of African Football [Caf] banned Ethiopia from using the stadium for international matches.

According to Caf the edifice does not meet the required standards to host sancationed games.

After initially flirting with the idea of taking the game to Kenya, South Africa stepped in with an offer to host the game and Ethiopia agreed.
