Liberia's qualifier switched to Accra

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -- Liberia's African Nations Cup qualifier against Guinea this weekend has been moved away from the west African country because of fighting in the capital Monrovia.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced in Cairo on Monday that the Group Two match would now be played in Accra, Ghana on Saturday, June 21.

Fighting in Liberia between government and rebel groups has reached the capital Monrovia in recent weeks.

Liberia also used Accra as a venue for four home games during the qualifiers for the 1998 World Cup finals in France because of civil war in Liberia.

It beat the Gambia and Egypt in Accra but lost to Tunisia and Togo during 1996 and 1997.
