Ghana and Sudan are set to face off in a crucial AFCON qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, with both sides desperate for a win.
Sudan, coached by former Black Stars player and coach Kwesi Appiah, currently hold the final automatic qualification spot and could potentially prevent Ghana from securing a place at the upcoming AFCON if the results favor them.
The match has been framed as a tactical showdown between Kwesi Appiah and Ghana’s coach, Otto Addo.
“Kwesi Appiah has nothing to prove. His coaching credentials are there for all to see. For me, nobody even knows I’m the assistant coach of Sudan.
“We just want to qualify, and that’s the aim. It’s just unfortunate we have to face Ghana. I wish this match didn’t happen,” he said.
Sudan have never beaten Ghana in Ghana and will be looking to change that in Thursday’s game.
