Rabat – Sudan and Senegal will now lock horns in a qualification game of the CAF World Championship in Benina Martyrs Stadium in Bengasi, Libya.
This match is of crucial importance for both teams to look for a place at the expanded World Cup 2026.
The match will start at 7 p.m. Moroccan period (GMT), and fans can see the action live on FIFA+ and ESPN.
Sudan currently leads Group B, which aims to maintain its top position and to secure its first appearance of the World Cup.
As an incumbent African champion, Senegal is looking for a victory after a mixed start in the group phase to strengthen their qualification campaign.
Historically, Senegal had the upper hand and won all three encounters against Sudan.
In the last two sessions, Senegal was secured a 3-0 and 1-0 victory in 2018 during the 2018 CAF. The Sudan will try to use its current form and neutral venue to turn the sheet in this decisive match.
Sudan’s coach Kwesi Appiah said that his team “has many good players who are physically strong and hardworking” and added that “the Sudan’s talent pool is limited due to the lack of a domestic league … players are ambitious and I think they can achieve great things with the right support and preparation.”
