Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ex-Ghana coach James Kwasi Appiah is set for a homecoming after Sudan were paired against the Black Stars in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Both teams were drawn in Group F, alongside Angola and Niger, during Thursday’s draw in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The outcome of the draw means Appiah will be facing his home country twice, as he aims to guide Sudan to qualify for the AFCON.
Appiah has chalked some impressive results since being hired as the head coach of the Sudan national team in September 2023.
The draw, however, saw Ghana picked in Group F and they will now have to battle against Angola, Sudan and Niger to qualify for next year’s tournament in Morocco.
Meanwhile, the draw saw 48 teams drawn into 12 groups of four teams each, with the top two of every group set to qualify for the AFCON.
