Sudan extend contract of coach Kwasi Appiah until 2028

Ghanaian coach James Kwasi Appiah has extended his contract with Sudan’s national men’s football team for the next three years. The announcement was made earlier this week on Tuesday.

Kwasi Appiah first signed for the Falcons of Jediane in 2023, helping to transform the side into a formidable force on the continent.

The former Ghana left-back succeeded in leading Sudan to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, a feat that prompted the Northeast African nation to prolong their marriage with Kwasi Appiah.

Sudan’s qualification for the 2025 AFCON included a victory over Ghana, marking their return to the tournament after missing out on the last edition in Ivory Coast.
