Assistant coach of the Sudanese national team, Ignatius Osei-Fosu, has revealed that head coach Kwesi Appiah is driven by the ambition of steering Sudan to their first-ever FIFA World Cup.
The Falcons of Jediane have made an impressive start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, currently leading Group B with 10 points from four matches.
As the qualifiers resume later this month with crucial fixtures against Senegal and South Sudan, Osei-Fosu shared insights into Appiah’s aspirations.
The Ghanaian tactician, who previously guided the Black Stars to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, is eager to replicate that success with Sudan.
“It’s Kwasi Appiah’s dream to qualify Sudan for the World Cup,” he told Sporty FM.
Sudan have already secured a place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), a feat Osei-Fosu attributes to Appiah’s vast experience and leadership.
“Kwasi Appiah’s experience qualified Sudan to the AFCON.”
The Sudanese team will face Senegal at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Libya before taking on South Sudan at the same venue.
