SOUTH Africa will play Saudi Arabia in September to decide the long-delayed Afro-Asian Nations Cup, officials said on Friday. The first leg of the Cup, which was to have been played two years ago when both countries were reigning continental champions, will be in Johannesburg on September 19. The return will be in Riyadh on September 30. The settling of the dates means that African and Asian officials can go ahead with the planning of the 1999 Afro-Asian Nations Cup match between last year’s African Nations Cup winners Egypt and Asian Games gold medallists Iran.
