Egypt ambassador to Ghana vows Pharaohs will dismantle Black Stars
Egypt Ambassador to Ghana Mohammed Heider has
vowed his country will edge Ghana in their highly
anticipated 2018 World Cup qualifier on November
13.


The diplomat believes it's time for the seven-time
African champions to qualify to the global
showpiece at the expense of the West Africans.

The Pharaohs missed out on qualification to the
World Cup in Brazil in 2014 after losing 7-2 on
aggregate to the Black Stars.

And the Egyptian ambassador to Ghana, His
Excellency Mohammed Heider, says his country hold
the aces ahead of the meeting of the two sides at
the Borg El Arab stadium in Alexandria on November
13.

"It is unfortunate that Ghana and Egypt will have
to meet in the same Group. Two quality teams in
the continent to clash in a World Cup qualifying
Group is hurting. This is not the best. But that
is how it is. One team will have to fight to make
it to the World Cup. I hope it will be Egypt, But
I will be equally happy if it will be Ghana. It
depends on who deserves to be there because
whoever that qualifies will be a good
representative for Africa," he told Starr FM's
Henry Asante Twum in an extensive interview

"I don’t have any problem with it at all. It’s
unfortunate that Ghana must play Egypt again.
It’s just a coincidence.

"It’s better to beat Ghana twice than beating
somebody else. Our target is to beat Ghana in
November and beat them again in Gabon at the Cup
of Nations. We are determined to do that.

"And I think we have what it takes to conquer
Ghana in the two games."
