Sierra Leone’s African Nations Cup qualifier against Ghana in Kumasi will not go ahead on today after the country’s football association failed to get a Fifa suspension lifted.

Sierra Leone authorities, who had petitioned Fifa to get the ban lifted, did not meet a Tuesday deadline to reinstate ousted football association president Isha Johansen, who is accused of corruption by government officials.
