Head coach of Sudan James Kwasi Appiah insists his outfit will spare no effort to secure victory against Equatorial Guinea in their second Group E clash at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Falcons of Jediane takes on Equatorial Guinea at the Moulay Hassan Stadium, Rabat in Morocco on Sunday, December 28, 2025, with both teams aiming for a win to revive their chances of reaching the knockout stage.
Sudan succumbed to a heavy 3-0 defeat to Algeria in their opening game at the continental showpiece, posing threat to their qualification chances.
Despite acknowledging Equatorial Guinea’s threat, the former Black Stars coach insists the side will fight to grind result.
“I watched Equatorial Guinea’s match against Burkina Faso in the last round. I think our opponent is strong enough, and we have identified their weaknesses and strengths, and we will fight to achieve victory.”
“We are suffering greatly from the impact of the war that Sudan is witnessing. For the players, it is not easy, and we will do our best to perform at our best.”
“I am trying to forget what happened in our previous match. It was a harsh loss, but we learned from it,” adding: “In football, anything is possible, and it is important that we know how to come back strong. We must be strong and determined so that we can regain our pride.”
“We want to keep our hopes alive by achieving victory over Equatorial Guinea, and then we must continue preparing for the third and final round against Burkina Faso. We will spare no effort to achieve victory in the match and return strongly to the tournament. He concluded.
