Sudan remains in deep pains as the country is still under a civil war leading to the killing of many innocent souls.
There’s a severe hunger crisis in the country. Football has stopped in the country forcing Al Hilal Oumdurman and Al Merreikh, the two biggest clubs in the country to join the Mauritanian Ligue 1.
Life is extremely difficult in Sudan currently, making working there a difficult task.
Head coach of the national team of Sudan, James Kwesi Appiah sat down with FIFA and discussed how important it will be for the country to qualify for its first World Cup.
FIFA asked Kwasi Appiah, “What impact would World Cup qualification have on Sudan?”
“Reaching the World Cup would be a great springboard for the development of football in the country.
“Administratively, it would make things much easier. It could also change the lives of my players. Currently, there are only two professionals in the squad.
“If we were to qualify for a World Cup, they could perform on the biggest stage and then tell themselves that they too were capable of playing in Europe. That’s something that would transform their mindset. You cannot imagine how much happiness a World Cup participation would bring to all of Sudan.
Yes, it’s true. You can’t imagine how the feeling will be like to see Sudan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
The dream is alive as Sudan leads second-placed Senegal, by 2 points after four matches played.
Sudan’s next two games in the World Cup qualifiers will be a home fixtures against Senegal and South Sudan, albeit they will host the visitors in Tanzania.
