Sudan v Senegal: How to watch the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier

Senegal can secure their place at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations when they face Sudan in the return fixture on Monday.

The Lions of Teranga won the first meeting 4-1 at the Stade Leopold Sedar Senghor in Dakar on 12 November, in the third round of qualifying. Nicolas Jackson, Boulaye Dia, Ibrahim Mbaye and Pathe Mboup were all on target for the hosts.

Monday’s match, which forms part of the fourth round of Group J, will kick off at 14:00 French time and 13:00 in Senegal. It will be played at Juba National Stadium in Juba, South Sudan.

The game will be shown in France on beIN Sports 1. In Senegal, the match is expected to be broadcast by RTS.

The result in Dakar was a landmark moment for Patrick Vieira’s side, who scored four goals in a match for the first time since he became Senegal manager.

In the previous international break, Senegal had managed only one goal in each of their two matches. They drew 1-1 with Mozambique before losing 1-0 to Ethiopia at the end of September.

Vieira’s team are now in a strong position at the top of Group J, holding a three-point advantage over the side in second place and a four-point lead over both the third-placed team and the bottom side.

Senegal will qualify for the finals with two matches still to play if they beat Sudan and Mozambique defeat Ethiopia in the other group fixture.
