Sudan seek win against Ghana to storm quarters

_{The Sudan national team will play their first Group C match against Ghana this evening at the on-going TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2022 in Algeria.}

_{After the 2020 champions Morocco failed to appear for their first match against Sudan on January 15th, the Sudan team will now test real action today at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine.}

_{Sudan will be all out to pick and win and qualify for the quarter final stage. After Ghana lost their opening match 2-1 to Madagascar, victory for Sudan will be enough to see them through to the knock out stage even before they face Madagascar in the last group match.}

_{But Sudan’s head coach Burhan Tia has called for a lot of caution when his team faces the Ghana team. “The Ghana team lost their opening match and will be very hungry to be a better team against us,” added Eldin Tia.}

_{“We have been hard at training for the past couple of weeks. We had a training camp in Tunisia before coming here and have been hard at work in preparation for this clash. They are obviously coming into the match after a loss which makes them dangerous, but we believe that being fully concentrated for the full match will be the difference in this match,” says the coach.}

_{The coach maintained that the team is determined to try and improve on their third place finish in the 2011 and 2018 editions when they participated in the CHAN tournament. “We always want to aim higher,” added the coach.}

_{Mohamed Abd Alrahman, the Sudan captain also made it clear there is no easy game. “We need to do what we know best and make our people proud. The competition is also important to the players because it affords us a chance to showcase our talent,” added the captain.}
