Sudan’s coach, James Kwesi Appiah, is targeting the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title.
The former Black Stars coach, who guided them to a second-place finish in Group F, secured Sudan’s qualification.
Sudan earned 8 points, making it to the AFCON for the first time since 2012.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Appiah reaffirmed his team’s ambition to win the AFCON title in North Africa.
“By God’s grace, we have qualified, we will prepare very well and ensure that we have a strong team before the AFCON, as I already stated, any competition we enter, we will go all out to win.”
“I don’t believe in the idea of taking part in a competition with the mindset that you think you’ll be eliminated in the first round; instead, once you’re in, you aim for the cup rather than coming out with nothing.”
“Nothing is impossible in football, who knew Ivory Coast would win the competition? They were nearly eliminated, but they came back to win the AFCON 2023.
As I always say, football’s evolved, and every team deserves respect.
The 2025 AFCON tournament will kick off on December 21, 2025, and conclude with the final match on January 18, 2026.
