AFCON Profile: Sudan
Sudan are just one of 16 teams set to contest the 2012 AFCON finals. This way for a full overview of Mohamed Abdullahs squad.
www.skysports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Sudan’s national team, the Falcons of Jediane, had a notable run at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in 2025, advancing to the quarter-finals after topping their group with strong results, including a 4-0 win over Nigeria and a goalless draw with Senegal. This was highlighted as a significant achievement for Sudanese football amid domestic challenges.[1][3]
- In early 2026, Sudan’s team was discussed in relation to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification context, with coach Kwesi Appiah mentioning the aim of an upset against Senegal as a potential catalyst for broader national impact, though the competition path and results continued to be fluid during the year.[2]
- A broader profile piece from 2012 remains in the record, but doesn’t reflect the current form or recent results; it’s useful for historical context on Sudan’s AFCON presence but not indicative of 2025–26 performance.[4]
Notes:
- The most actionable recent development appears to be the CHAN quarter-final appearance in 2025 and ongoing AFCON qualification discussions in early 2026.[3][2]
- If you want up-to-the-minute results (match-by-match scores, upcoming fixtures, and squad changes), I can fetch the latest from current sports outlets and the Sudanese Football Association’s updates. Would you like me to pull those now?
