Sudan’s head coach, Kwesi Appiah, believes the national team can qualify for the 2026 World Cup with the right support and preparation.
The Sudanese team currently leads their World Cup qualifying group with 10 points from four games, two points ahead of Senegal, with six matches remaining.
Appiah, who represented Ghana at the 2014 World Cup, has overseen Sudan’s impressive progress in the qualifiers.
The team will resume their 2026 World Cup campaign in March 2025 with back-to-back home matches against South Sudan and Senegal.
Following a historic Africa Cup of Nations qualification under Appiah, despite playing all qualifiers away due to civil unrest, Sudan has demonstrated resilience and ambition.
“Sudan has a lot of good players who are physically strong and hardworking. However, unlike countries like Ghana, which has a large pool of high-quality players, Sudan’s talent pool is limited due to the lack of a domestic league,” Appiah told CAF.
“Still, the players are ambitious, and I believe they can achieve great things with the right support and preparation.”
