Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba will be in Accra for qualifier<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying clash between Ivory Coast and Benin this week will be played in Ghana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The civil unrest in the Ivorian capital in the wake of the political unrest in the country has forced the decision for the game to be moved.<\/p>\n

The Ivorian Football Federation boss Jacque Anouma had resisted Fifa\u2019s earlier attempt to have the game moved to Accra because of the violence in his country.<\/p>\n

But after consultation with Caf, the Ivorian have agreed the security of players and fans could not be guaranteed if the game in played in Abidjan.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe thought we could host the match in Abidjan even after FIFA\u2019s pressure to move it from here,\u201d Anoma said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the situation on the ground and lack of security guarantee from the government led us \u2013we and Caf to decide on relocation to nearby Accra, Ghana<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players will be in Accra from Tuesday, March 21. They will do a few days of preparation and will play this match that is very crucial for Ivory Coast,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast are top of Group H with maximum six points after two matches.<\/p>\n

Second-placed Benin have four points, Rwanda are third with one point while Rwanda have no points.<\/p>\n
