Preparatory Camp for Sudanese National Team in Benghazi

Port Sudan – Sudanhorizon

The Sudanese national football team is preparing to hold a preparatory camp in January to meet the upcoming African championships, including the final of the (CHAN) next February and facing Senegal in the World Cup qualifiers in mid-March.

According to sources who spoke to the Sudanhorizon news website, the Football Association Council management is weighing between Mauritania, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Morocco as the destination of the next camp.

The sources confirmed that the Libyan city of Benghazi, the virtual home of the Falcons of Jediane, is likely to be the preferred destination, noting that initial contacts have been made in this regard and that arrangements are still ongoing in coordination with the technical staff of the national team.

The head of the General Federation, Dr. Moatasem Jaafar, held a comprehensive meeting with the team’s technical director, Ghanaian Kwasi Appiah, last week in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, where he discussed in detail the requirements of the next stage.

Jaafar pledged to implement the technical staff’s program by arranging a training camp and adding three players from the Australian league to the national team list requested by Kwasi by name, namely Hills United’s center Jamal Ali, Green Gully’s winger Amer Abdullah, and West Adelaide Halas’ right winger. Kwasi Appiah requested that the procedures related to their presence in the Falcons of Jediane camp be completed before the upcoming match against Senegal.

Sudan qualified for the African Nations Championship finals scheduled for February in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, after winning the first and second legs against Ethiopia by four goals to one.

Doubts are circulating about the participation of the Al-Merreikh duo, center-back Mosaab Makin and left-winger Ahmed Abdel Moneim in Tangier due to injury.

Al-Merreikh’s medical staff is making great efforts to treat the players and catch up with the club and national team’s preparations.
