Sudan coach Kwesi Appiah has called on the Football association to grant incentives to the players ahead of the crucial 2026 World Cup qualification games against Senegal and Togo.
The Falcons of Jediane will face Senegal on March 18 before taking on South Sudan on March 24 in the fifth and sixth rounds of the qualifiers in Group B.
Sudan currently sit top of Group B with 10 points following their impressive performance in the initial four matches.
Appiah has, however, entreated the leadership of the Sudan FA to offer incentives to the players as a form of motivation ahead of the upcoming games as they seeks to maintain their lead in the qualifying series.
“Senegal is a strong team, but they are not the only ones, and we are also one of the best teams on the continent. We have performed well, and everyone is now talking about the team as strong. We have achieved part of our goals, and now we aspire to achieve more,” he said as quoted by Koora.com.
He continued: “I hope that the federation will give incentive bonuses to the players, as they deserve it after the great performance they gave. Such incentives will help them achieve a positive result against a big team like Senegal, which will enhance our chances even more.”
Meanwhile, Appiah has yet to join camp in Saudi Arabia after initial boycott due to unpaid entitlements.
However, the arrival of his compatriots, Ignatius Osei Fosu and Eric Amponsah in camp gives an indication Appiah will also join.
The former Black Stars coach is expected to team up with the Sudan national team in the coming days.
