Sudan assistant coach Ignatius Osei-Fosu has attributed their qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to the vast experience of head coach Kwesi Appiah.
The Falcons of Jediane secured their place in the tournament alongside Angola, while Ghana finished bottom of their group with only three points.
Osei-Fosu expressed confidence in Sudan’s qualification, citing Appiah’s leadership and experience as key factors. “I knew we would qualify ahead of Ghana and the other teams because we have James Kwasi Appiah, a man with vast experience,” Osei-Fosu stated on Asempa FM’s SportsNite Show.
He further praised Appiah for his notable achievements, including leading Ghana to the 2014 World Cup, where the team earned a historic draw against Germany. “That match was rated the best in the second round and even the entire tournament. Ghana vs USA was also the best match in the first round,” Osei-Fosu added.
In the qualifiers, Sudan drew 0-0 in the first leg against Ghana before securing a 2-0 victory in the second leg to seal their AFCON spot.
