Sudan assistant coach, Ignatius Osei-Fosu, has expressed confidence in the team’s potential to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), emphasizing their determination to succeed.
The Falcons of Jediane secured second place in Group F of the qualifiers with eight points from six matches, edging out Ghana to earn a spot in the tournament. Their impressive performance has been attributed to the recent revitalization of the team under head coach Kwesi Appiah.
Osei-Fosu, a former head coach of Medeama SC and Techiman Eleven Wonders, joined Sudan’s technical team in 2023 under Appiah’s leadership. He lauded the Ghanaian tactician’s influence, crediting him for Sudan’s resurgence.
“Kwesi Appiah goes into every game with the expectation to win, and that is exactly what we are going to do in Morocco. However, we will take it game by game,” he told 3Sports.
“Our expectation going into AFCON 2025 is to win, and we believe we have the quality to do that,” Osei-Fosu added.
Since taking charge in September 2023, Appiah has breathed new life into the Sudanese side, with their qualification for AFCON seen as a testament to his strategic leadership.
While Sudan faces the challenge of competing against traditionally stronger teams, their newfound confidence and determination could make them formidable contenders. Osei-Fosu emphasized that belief and thorough preparation will be pivotal to achieving their lofty ambitions in Morocco.
