Sudan can heave a sigh of relief as head coach James Kwesi Appiah is set to join the team’s training camp in Saudi Arabia after resolving issues related to unpaid wages.
The Falcons of Jediane are currently in Saudi Arabia for a 12-day training camp as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers this month.
Appiah, who initially boycotted the team’s training due to unpaid entitlements, is now expected to join the camp today or tomorrow.
His compatriots, assistant coaches Ignatius Osei Fosu and Eric Amponsah, arrived in camp on Thursday, signaling that Kwesi Appiah will also join the team for the crucial matches.
According to sources from AfricaSoccer.com, the former Black Stars tactician is set to depart Ghana for Saudi Arabia either today or tomorrow.
Sudan will face Senegal on March 18 before taking on South Sudan on March 24 in the fifth and sixth rounds of the qualifiers in Group B.
The Falcons of Jediane currently sit atop Group B with 10 points, following an impressive performance in their first four matches.
As part of their preparations for the crucial World Cup qualifiers, Sudan has lined up a friendly match against Jordan. The team will then travel to Libya on March 17, 2025, ahead of the qualification games.
