- Sudan Qualifies for 2025 AFCON
- Kwesi Appiah Leads Team to Morocco
- Sudan Seeks to Make Impact on Continental Stage
Sudan’s head coach, Kwesi Appiah, has expressed his commitment to making the nation proud as the team prepares for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Appiah, a former Ghana national team coach, led Sudan’s Falcons of Jediane to secure their qualification for the tournament by finishing second in Group F with 8 points.
Despite the challenges posed by ongoing civil unrest, which forced Sudan to play their home matches on neutral grounds, the team achieved two wins, two draws, and two losses in the qualifiers.
Looking ahead to the competition, Appiah is optimistic about Sudan’s prospects in the tournament.
“For me, once we have been able to qualify, there is nothing we cannot do and I believe with the help of God, we will do well to ensure we do not embarrass ourselves but rather play to honour the country,” Appiah told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
Sudan’s only AFCON title came in 1970 when the country hosted the tournament. Since then, their performances have been modest, with just one advancement beyond the group stage and participation in only three of the last 24 editions.
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will be hosted in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, offering Sudan an opportunity to make a significant impact on the continental stage.
