Ghana has warned FIFA that it will be held responsible if something happens to their delegation to Egypt for this month's World Cup playoff against the Pharaohs.
The world governing body approved the volatile Cairo as the venue of the second-leg match despite protests from the Ghana FA (GFA) over the security situation in Egypt.
The GFA wanted the match to be played at a neutral venue because of the growing turmoil in Egypt following the ousting of President Mohammed Morsi.
That is because football has not been played in the country over the past two years before spectators because of the fear of violence erupting during matches.
Egypt have played all their qualifying World Cup matches behind closed doors which prompted Ghana to request for the change of the venue for the 19 November match.
However, FIFA rejected Ghana's request saving the the country will be safe for the Black Stars and their supporters to travel for the match.
Now Ghana FA chief Kwesi Nyantakyi has warned the world governing body that it will be held responsible if any member of their delegation is harmed in Egypt.
"We will hold FIFA responsible because it is FIFA who owns the competition," Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi said.
"And FIFA has relied on the advice of the government of Egypt to sanction the match and so if any mishap occurs FIFA must be held responsible and no one else."
Nyantakyi said the GFA was surprised by Wednesday's FIFA ruling to approve the match for Cairo given the prevailing turbulence in the north African country.
“When FIFA ruled that the match should go on in Cairo we were a bit surprised considering the security situation in the country,†Nyantakyi said.
"But they took the decision based on the acceptance of the guarantees by the Egyptian government."
The Black Stars won the first leg by 6-1 in Kumasi on October 15, while the return leg has been fixed for November 19 in Cairo.
The winner of the tie will qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
