Gabon's Alai Dissikadi and Morocco's Youssef Hadji in a World Cup qualifier in March

The 2010 World Cup qualifier between Gabon and Cameroon scheduled for Saturday has been postponed.

The match was due to take place in Libreville a day after the state funeral of President Omar Bongo.

World football's governing body Fifa say that they have accepted the Gabon Football Federation's request for a postponement and the game will now be played in Libreville on 5 September.

The return match, which was scheduled that day, will now be played in Yaounde four days later.

Gabon are top of Group A of the 2010 qualifiers after winning their first two matches.

President Bongo died last week after ruling Gabon for 42 years.
