Lamine Camara says Senegal must respect ‘very good’ Sudan in 2027 Afcon qualifier

Senegal midfielder Lamine Camara has described Sudan as “a very good team” ahead of Thursday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The Lions of Teranga host Sudan in the third round of qualification, with Camara speaking to the media on Wednesday about the challenge posed by their opponents.

The two sides have met several times in recent months. Their latest encounters came during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers before they faced each other again at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, when Senegal secured victory.

However, Senegal’s meetings with Sudan have consistently proved difficult. Camara acknowledged the quality of the opposition but believes his side will be able to come through the latest contest.
