Head coach of the Sudan senior men’s national team, James Kwesi Appiah, is confident of his team’s chances at the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Sudan qualified for the African Cup of Nations set to come off in Morocco at the expense of the Black Stars of Ghana, beating them at their adopted home in Morocco.
Kwesi Appiah’s side could go toe-to-toe this hosts Morocco or holders Ivory Coast, who are in Pot 1 alongside Senegal, Egypt, Algeria, and Nigeria.
With the possibility of facing some of Africa’s football giants, Kwesi Appiah insists being prepared and confident would help his team to be fearless against any other country.
“Once you’ve qualified for AFCON, as a coach, I don’t think you should have any preferences regarding who you’re drawn against.
“We must be ready to face anyone. If you fear any team, then you shouldn’t participate in the competition at all. The key is preparation and confidence,” he said in an interview at the SWAG Awards.
The Falcons of Jediane are targeting a better finish than their group stage exit in Cameroon, 2021.
