Kwesi Appiah, the head coach of Sudan’s national football team, contends that for the squad to succeed at the current African Cup of Nations in Morocco, supporters need pray and keep up their support.
In September 2023, Kwesi Appiah became the Sudan national team’s new head coach. He has had a significant influence on the team, particularly in helping them qualify for the 2025 AFCON following their final appearance in 2021.
Sudan’s AFCON campaign got off to a rough start as they were unable to secure three points against Algeria in the group stage match.
Kwesi Appiah went back to his board with his technical team and came back to the field to play their second game with Equatorial Guinea, and they were victorious, and that win made their chance of being at the round of 16 possible. Kwesi said in a post-match interview, pleaded for the team’s supporters to support them with prayers. This is what he said:
“My message to all Sudanese people is simple: pray for us and support the team. Sudanese people are scattered across Africa and the world due to the conflict, and their presence in the stadium gives the players great strength. We will fight to keep raising the flag of Sudan.” They will play their last group stage match with Burkina Faso, and a win from that game will push them out to the round of 16.
