Ghana face a potentially tricky challenge in their upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, according to former player Augustine Ahinful.
Their group includes Sudan, led by Kwesi Appiah, a former coach of Ghana’s national team, the Black Stars.
Ahinful expressed concern about Appiah’s familiarity with Ghanaian football, highlighting his recent success in leading Sudan’s team during World Cup qualifiers.
To overcome this potential hurdle, Ahinful urged Ghana’s management to thoroughly scout Sudan’s team and understand their playing style.
This strategic preparation, according to Ahinful, is crucial for Ghana to navigate this challenging group stage matchup.
“He knows Ghana and Ghana knows him. But we need to begin to scout what he has been doing concerning the current Sudan national team,” said Arhinful in an interview with 3Sports.
“I think he has brought professionalism and the zeal to win into the Sudanese team. So we can see from the World Cup qualifiers, that they are on top. So it is a dicey situation,” he added.
