Sudan coach Kwesi Appiah eyeing AFCON 2025 title

Sudan’s coach, James Kwesi Appiah, aims to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title.

Under his leadership, Sudan secured qualification for the tournament after finishing second in Group F, with 8 points, marking their first AFCON appearance since 2012.

Appiah emphasized the team’s focus on preparation and strength, stating they will compete with the goal of winning, not merely participating.

He also highlighted that anything is possible in football, citing Ivory Coast's unexpected 2023 victory despite nearly being eliminated.

Appiah stressed that no team should be underestimated, and the 2025 AFCON, scheduled from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, offers a significant opportunity.
