Sudan’s head coach Kwesi Appiah has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) following the draw in Morocco.
Sudan were placed in Group E alongside formidable opponents like Algeria, Burkina Faso and Equatorial Guinea in the draw that took place on Monday, January 27, 2025.
Speaking on the draw, Appiah acknowledged the tough challenge ahead but remained optimistic about his team’s chances.
“The AFCON in Morocco is going to be interesting. Sudan, we are in Group E, and I think all the teams are really good. For me, to be in the competition, you need to aim at winning the cup,” Appiah told Ghanasportspage.com.
Despite Sudan’s underdog status, the Ghanaian coach believes his squad has the potential to surprise many.
“I believe that Sudan will perform very well, and I’m hopeful that any team that we meet, we will try our best to win,” he added.
Sudan, a former AFCON champion from 1970, will look to make a strong impression in Morocco, building on recent improvements under Appiah’s leadership.
The tournament is slated to commence on December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026.
