Sudan coach Kwesi Appiah has made his intentions clear to win the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) ahead of their semifinal game.

The Ghanaian tactician has guided the Falcons of Jediane to the last four after a dramatic penalty shootout triumph over Algeria.

Speaking ahead of their clash with Madagascar on Tuesday, August 26, Appiah emphasised that the team’s ambition extends beyond merely competing in the tournament.

“Our goal is beyond just participation. We aspire to achieve the African title,” Appiah told CAFOnline.

The former Black Stars coach also commended his players for their resilience and highlighted the motivation drawn from the millions of Sudanese fans supporting the team.

“Millions of Sudanese people follow us, and they also support us, so I say it frankly: we aspire to achieve the African title,” he added.

The semifinal showdown is set to take place at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30 GMT.
