Ghana are counting on the massive home support in Kumasi to overturn a 3-1 deficit against Nigeria on Sunday to qualify for the All-African Games in September. 

The Dream Team defeated the Black Meteors in the first leg in Benin City two weeks ago, which has sparked some urgency from the Ghanaian side.

Having failed to progress in the Olympic Games qualifier, this is the only chance for Ghana’s U23 side to play in an international tournament.

The fact that they are playing against their archrivals has further increased the home side's expectation but they have to play without some key players.

AAG Qualifier : Nigeria vs. Ghana - LIVE

Nigeria aim to avenge their ouster by Ghana from the 2007 All Africa Games by stopping their arch-rivals from this year’s competition.

Four years ago, Ghana eliminated Nigeria U23s from the All Africa Games on the away goals rule when they drew 1-1 in Abuja after they had been held to a goalless draw in the first leg.

However, Nigeria led by coach Samson Siasia got their pound of flesh soon after when they sent pack packing the Black Meteors from the 2008 Bejing Olympics.

Nigeria are still very much in the running for next year’s Olympics, while Ghana were shocked out by unfancied Sudan meaning the face saver for the U23s is a place at the All Africa Games in Mozambique.

The Under-23 sides of South Africa and Zimbabwe begin their two-legged tie for a place at the 2011 All Africa Games with a meeting at the Sinaba Stadium in Daveyton.

The South Africans are coming off a 5-1 thrashing of Benin in a 2012 Olympic Games qualifier last weekend and will be full of confidence as they prepare to take on their neighbours to the north.

In the preliminary round, Amaglug-glug registered an emphatic 4-1 win over Angola in the first leg in February as Themba Zwane grabbed a brace, while Masibusane Zongo and Riaan Eugene scored the other two. Two weeks later, South Africa defeated Angola 2-1, with striker Phumelele Ace Bhengu scoring in each half.

Join our online live commentary from the London 2012 Olympics qualifier between Nigeria and Tanzania from 4pm (SA,CAT,GMT+2) which is 3pm in Nigeria and 5pm in Tanzania.

The game earlier scheduled for yesterday at 4pm could not be played due to the heavy downpour which made the pitch water-logged and unplayable follwing inspection by the match official.

In a hugely entertaining first leg, a forth night ago, in Dar es Salaam, the Nigerians dominated, created a plethora of chances, but fell to a sucker punch as the Tanzanians won 1-0.

Sunshine Stars of Nigeria will host FC Al-Ittihad of Libya in a one-off qualifier as a result of the civil war in the North African country.

Sunshine, who finished third in the Nigeria Premier League last season and are pressing very hard for the title this term, eliminated Tiko United of Cameroon and army team USFA of Burkina Faso in the previous rounds.

Ittihad, who parade Nigeria Olympic international Azu Azuka, will be a tough nut to crack as they proved against another Nigerian club, Enyimba, in the CAF Champions League. Enyimba only managed to beat the Libyan champions 1-0 in Aba.

Join us today for live scoring and comments on the semi-final matches of the ongoing WAFU Cup tournament.

Togo and Liberia kick off today's matches at 14:00 (Nigerian time) in a game expected to be explosive as both teams have proven to be in great shape.

Togo edged Ghana over two games to top Group B, while Liberia gave Nigeria a worthy fight that many thought should have ended in a stalemate, before going on to beat Niger 2:1 and qualifying for the semis.

Nigeria scraped through to a 1:0 win in their opening game against Liberia's Lone Stars, but looked in better shape in their second game when they thumped Niger 4:0.
