Sudan head coach Kwesi Appiah expressed his joy following the Falcons of Jediane’s 2-0 victory over Ghana in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, a result that lifted the spirits of Sudanese people amid the country’s ongoing struggles.
The win on Tuesday, October 15, at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Benghazi, Libya, was a pivotal moment in round four of the qualifying series. Sudan’s goals from Ahmed Hamed Mahmoud and Mohamed Abdelrahman sealed the victory, which leaves Ghana in a precarious position in their qualifying campaign.
In his post-match interview, Appiah acknowledged the tough outcome for his home country, Ghana, but emphasized the significance of the win for Sudan. “It’s unfortunate for Ghana. They have a good team, but only one of us can progress,” Appiah remarked. “I’m happy we’ve been able to put a smile on Sudanese faces during such challenging times.”
