Egypt will face Ghana in the second leg of the World Cup qualifying playoff on 19 November, The Egyptian football Association (EFA) announced on their website on Monday.
The Egyptian FA is yet to decide on the venue to host the game amid security concerns in the country.
The Egyptian team has been paired with Ghana in the World Cup playoff, and the Ghanaian football Association has set 15th of next month as the date for the first-leg in Kumasi.
The Pharaohs are eyeing their first World Cup appearance since 1990, while Ghana are seeking to reach the tournament for the third consecutive time, having reached the quarter finals in their last appearance in 2010.
