Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has acknowledged the tough task ahead as his team prepares to face Sudan in their upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
During his post-match interview after Ghana’s 1-1 draw with Niger on Monday, September 9, 2024, Addo emphasised the importance of the next two qualifying matches.
He highlighted that victories in both games against Sudan are crucial for the Black Stars to keep their hopes alive for securing a spot in the next AFCON tournament in Morocco.
“It will be difficult again. I knew from the start, it’s just some little margins, little details that can decide.
This will be again, for us, a crucial match. We have to win; there is no way around it, and we have to win,” coach Otto Addo said.
The Black Stars head coach continued, “If we want to have the chance to play better after, we have to win. We are under pressure, this is for sure, and we have to do better.”
Following Monday’s draw against Niger, Ghana is now third on the Group F standings in the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
