Ghana have asked Fifa for a second time to move next month's World Cup play-off second leg against Egypt from Cairo.
Fifa responded to
Ghana's initial request to switch the venue
for the 19 November tie by giving Egypt a deadline of 28 October
to provide security guarantees.
But Ghana, who
won the first leg 6-1,
have reiterated their concerns.
"We can't put in danger the lives of our players, officials and fans," said Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantaki.
There has been political and social unrest in the North
African country since President Mohamed Morsi was overthrown and
outbreaks of violence have been frequent.
Nyantaki added: "My strong conviction is that the match
must be moved from Cairo because of the incidents each day over there.
"It would be better for Fifa to choose another venue rather than Egypt for this game."
