I will not say Egypt is safe for Black Stars and their fans but we don't have any choice than to go there and play good football.We have already beaten Egypt 6-1 and it will be silly to let down our chance to qualify for 2014 World Cup in Brazil.At the moment,I think GFA cannot force FIFA to change the venue but they can give strict conditions to FIFA concerning the protection of our players and our fans before,during and after the match.This means,Ghanaian security and diplomatic delegations must go to Egypt now to study the grounds and not to wait for last minute protest.Thank you.

This man seems oblivious to the dramatic horror and terror unfolding in Egypt. If he has ever witnessed a war especially in an African country be it black or Arabic he will never encourage people to walk into a country in a state of chaos. How can a supporter protect himself well in a coutry during war? He said if you protect yourself well in Egypt. These people are Arabs and we all know what that means and now they are fighting. If he says the country will ensure tight security for the players how can we be sure the supporter will also be protected? Please ingnor this man. It is never safe in a war torn country. Francis Akwafo is a joker but his joke is not funny.

There are some ppl in this world who ARGUE BLINDLY.. Cos FIFA headed by BLATTER said that its SAVE, some UNEDUCATED FOOLS like Francis Akwaffo just accepted the decission of FIFA.. This fool Akwaffo even dont know that the EGYPTIANS LIFES ARE IN DANGER and they are even not PROTECTED by their own ppl BY THAT COUP TO OVERTHROW the choices of the ppl in the BALLOT BOX.. When something happends, this FOOL Akwaffo WIL BE SITING BACK in his lazy chair only to make the day by watching football ..The West have a proverb that reads like this--> THOSE PPL WHO DID THESE ATROCITIES ARE COWARDS and thats is all,, by then LIFES have been lost .Instead of trying to VOICE out to protect yur (SILLY) Akwaffos happiness by a mere Football competition, U are telling GHANIANS that its save cos U played kotoko B4..Shallow minded Akwaffo..That is why your fore fathers were taken to the PLANTATIONS without a fight cos, Blacks are Always SCARED and AFRIAD..Son of a bitch Mr Akwaffo..AT least U have to fight and give reasons to any arguements ..Dont give up in life so soon..

Is that Akwaffo a security expert to give hope to Ghanaians on this dicey encounter in this lion's den - CAIRO? FIFA must think deeply of the possibility of voilence breaking out and the lives of boths Ghanaians and the Egyptians themselves. Akwaffo should not give us blind hopes and FIFA should not behave like an ostrich. By the way what is Issa Hayatou saying to protect the lives of players and fans in Egypt at Cairo? We watch the TV and see attrocities the Egytians themselves commit against their own brothers by hatching and maiming how much more the black African? FIFA's decision is not the best so let us pray for God's intervention to protect our prayers and fans when the 19th November encounter takes off in Cairo.

Let us also psyche up our boys to eschew fear so as to give up their best for the eventual qualifiication to Brasil 2014.

Egypt might only be responsible for the players and the staff of the team but our supporters would still be vulnerable especially,in the aftermath of the game which they cannot win.Egyptians have the foolish pride that they're the best in Africa and must be at the WC.The risk that our fans could be harmed is high and i would advise that they stay away because FIFA would not be at the hotel where they are.My advice is that Ghana must not sell any tickets to the public.It would be unacceptable to sacrifice one Ghanaian on the altar of this Brazil WC.Even if Egypt brings 100 million supporters they cannot win so massively as we inflicted on them.

Take for example the hotel they will be lodging, in case there is bomb planted there or near how can they(the supporters know)? In the stadium, in case there are some crazy Egyptians somewhere and throw some rockets intot he mists of Ghanaian supporters, how can the supporters protect themselves. You see, FIFA

Only idiots think its unsafe, when three countries played their qualifiers there and Al ahly has reached th final with its home games played in Egypt. This should not be a debate it makes BS look weak.

Since Libya is in a mess at the moment, is he saying that Egypt (Cairo) is safe relative to Libya?

LISTEN TO AKWAFFO, "IF YOU PROTECT YOURSELF WELL..." WELL, I THINK GFA MUST PROVIDE THE PLAYERS AND SUPPORTERS WITH BULLET-PROOF VESTS AND HELMETS FOR THE CAIRO MATCH.

Yes, indeed Sepp Blatter and Issa Hayatou must both be at the stadium to watch the game. Their presence is enough security for all.

So, he is on loan to Libya from Egypt, doesn't know the current situation back in Cairo and yet decided to comment without any good reasons? Does he know any better than the Ghanaian Embassy. How will the fans "protect themselves well"? By not making noise or not moving from their seats, right? By the way, aren't the reasons we pay the so-called diplomats. How much have we heard from them?
