AFCON Qualifiers Black Stars Coach Otto Addo Switches Attention To Must win Game Against Sudan

Ghana coach Otto Addo insists the games against Sudan in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in October are must-win matches. 

The Black Stars are without a win in two games in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers and have picked only a point in the September international window.

With four matches remaining, the four-time African champions need to beat Sudan in Accra next month to revive their qualification hopes.

"It will be challenging again. I knew from the start, it's just some little margins, little details which can decide. This will be again, for us it will be a crucial match. We have to win, there is no way around it, and we have to win," he said after the game against Niger.

"If we want to have the chance to play better after, we have to win. We are under pressure, this is for sure and we have to do better," he added.

Ghana lost their opening game in Kumasi against Angola last Thursday, their first defeat in Kumasi in 24 years.
