Otto Addo names Kudus as captain of Black Stars clash against Sudan

Head coach of Ghana’s Black Stars, Otto Addo, has named Mohammed Kudus, the West Ham United forward, as the team’s captain for the upcoming 2025 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers match against Sudan.

The coach expressed confidence that Kudus’ exceptional performances for the national team, along with his leadership skills, will significantly contribute to the team’s efforts in the game against Sudan.

“Mohammed Kudus will captain the Black Stars against Sudan,” he said during the pre-match press conference on October 9, 2024.

The decision came in light of the absence of captain Andre Dede Ayew, who was called up to join the national squad, and his deputy, Thomas Partey, who is sidelined due to an injury.

Addo expressed confidence that the team is well-prepared and poised to secure three points in their upcoming match.

Ghana is set to face Sudan on October 10, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium.

This doubleheader against Sudan is crucial for the Black Stars as they aim to enhance their chances of qualifying for the 2025 AFCON, especially after their disappointing performance in the first two games.

Currently, Ghana holds the third spot in Group F of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, with just one point from two matches.
