Ghana Football Association President Kwasi Nyantakyi says FIFA must consider their proposal of a venue change for Ghana’s second leg World Cup play off against Egypt in Cairo.

Last Sunday, Egyptian police clashed with hundreds of students staging an anti-military protest at Cairo's al-Azhar University.

Reports say the students had blocked the main road leading to the campus and threw rocks as security forces also fired tear gas to disperse them.

FIFA has given Egypt the deadline of October 28 to provide security guarantees before hosting the second-leg match at the Cairo Military stadium. 

The Ghana FA had complained over the growing insecurity in Egypt and insists FIFA should change the venue for the November 19 game which could be a subject of attack by terrorists.

"My strongest conviction is that the match should be moved away from Cairo because I think security is seriously compromised in Cairo and the situation keeps escalating day in day out," said Nyantakyi.

"We cannot risk the lives of our players, officials and supporters by going to Cairo, I do not think that any life lost is replaceable and so in the interest of fairness and security, it is better for FIFA to look outside Egypt for a venue for the match."
