Former Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah has attributed Sudan’s impressive form in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers to the commitment of his players. Under Appiah’s leadership, Sudan has secured three victories and one draw, solidifying their position at the top of Group B with 10 points.
Their latest triumph, a 3-0 away win against South Sudan, has further demonstrated the team’s remarkable run. Appiah credits his players’ ability to adapt to his preferred style of play, stating that they are “smart learners” who can easily adopt new strategies.
In an interview with sports journalist Collins Okinyo, Appiah praised his players’ commitment, saying, “Whatever I try to show them, they are able to adopt easily.” Appiah also noted that his ability to provide tips on their opponents’ strong and weak areas has been crucial in their success.
Sudan’s unbeaten run has seen them avoid defeat in six of their last seven games, a testament to Appiah’s strategies and the players’ dedication. Their next challenge will be against Senegal, where they hope to solidify their top spot in the group.
Appiah, who previously led Ghana to the 2014 World Cup, is now aiming to replicate that success with Sudan. With their sights set on the World Cup, Sudan’s committed players and Appiah’s leadership will be crucial in achieving their goal.
