The head coach of Sudan’s male senior national team, James Kwesi Appiah, has argued that his side is currently one of the best in Africa.
The Ghanaian tactician, since taking over, has worked tirelessly to ensure the team improves.
Since his appointment, coach Appiah has guided Sudan to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
In addition to that, Sudan’s national team sits top of Group B in the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking ahead of games against Senegal and Sudan this month, Coach Kwesi Appiah opined that he believes his side can rock shoulders with any national team on the continent.
“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,” Coach Appiah said.
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.”
Wins against Senegal and South Sudan this month will get Sudan closer to the qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
