The Sudanese Football Association has expressed significant frustration and dissatisfaction regarding the uncertainty surrounding their upcoming match venue against Ghana in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The team’s camp has voiced concerns about the impact of this ambiguity on their preparations, particularly regarding travel logistics and accommodation costs.
With the match scheduled for October 11, the Sudanese players and coaching staff are growing increasingly anxious as they await confirmation of the venue.
The ongoing deliberations by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the suitability of stadiums in Ghana have left the Sudanese camp in limbo.
“It’s frustrating and unfair to us,” a source from the Sudan camp stated. “We have to consider flight fares and hotel accommodation, which can be quite costly, especially when we are unsure about where we will be playing. This situation disrupts our planning and creates unnecessary stress for the team.” A closed source told Ghanasportspage.com.
The Sudanese team has been actively preparing for the qualifier, focusing on building chemistry and strategy. However, the uncertainty regarding the match venue complicates their training schedules and overall preparations. The spokesperson added, “We need clarity as soon as possible so we can finalize our travel plans and ensure that our players are well-rested and ready for the match.”
Ghana, currently third in Group F after managing only one point from their first two matches, is also under pressure to secure a victory in this critical qualifier. Both teams are keenly aware of the stakes involved, but the Sudanese side feels that the lack of communication and certainty from the GFA is undermining their ability to compete effectively.
As the match date approaches, the Sudan national team hopes for swift communication regarding the venue to facilitate their travel arrangements and ensure a smooth experience as they prepare to take on Ghana in what promises to be an intense AFCON qualifier.
The Black Stars come up against Sudan on October 11, hoping for their first win of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after picking up one point from two matches.
Ghana suffered a 1-0 defeat to Angola before a 1-1 draw against Niger, leaving them third in Group F.
