Former Ghana Football Association chairman Lepowura M.N.D Jawula says there is no need to panic over FIFA approved Cairo to host this month’s World Cup playoff return leg.


The traditional ruler believes the football world governing is on top of the security situation in the North African capital hence declaring the capital town safe.


This week, Ghana’s Sports Minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah requested for a meeting with FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke over safety concerns in Cairo.


But Jawula, who has been a Match Commissioner in Cairo for two CAF Champions League matches, says Ghana should trust FIFA.


“Fifa would have done a lot in the quite, it does not happen anywhere that a team goes and get into trouble,” said Alhaji Jawula in an interview with Joy sports


“I have been match commissioner on two occasions in Cairo, I was specifically to go and commission matches there at the heart of confusion, some of the matches were move to the military stadium which was even safer because it was a military area and before you go there they would have searched thoroughly before you get access.


“I know we have general fears, the FA president is expressing them same as the Sports Minister but what I can be sure about is we will not be allowed to go and play a match when FIFA is aware that something can go wrong.”


The return leg is scheduled for the Air Defense Stadium on 19 November.
