JOHANNESBURG, June 21 (Reuters) - Sierra Leone's political turmoil has led to a venue change for their African World Cup qualifier against Ghana on July 8.

The group B match has been moved from Freetown to Ghana, the Confederation of African Football announced on Wednesday.

The return leg has been fixed for Sierra Leone next May.

Sierra Leone lost their opening game 2-0 in Nigeria last Saturday. Ghana have not started their campaign.

Liberia and Sudan complete the group.
