During the pre-match press conference on October 9, 2024, he confirmed, “Mohammed Kudus will captain the Black Stars against Sudan.”
This decision comes as a result of the absence of regular captain Andre Dede Ayew and deputy Thomas Partey, who is sidelined due to injury.
Otto Addo expressed confidence in the team’s readiness, aiming for a crucial three points. The match will take place on October 10, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
With Ghana currently sitting in third place in Group F with just one point from their first two matches, this doubleheader against Sudan is vital for their AFCON qualification hopes.
