Sudan head coach Kwesi Appiah is seeking for incentives for his players ahead of their crucial game against Senegal in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The Falcons of Jediane will face Senegal on March 18 before taking on South Sudan on March 24 in the fifth and sixth rounds of the qualifiers in Group B.

Sudan currently sit top of Group B with 10 points following their impressive performance in the initial four matches.

And in an attempt to maintain their lead in the qualifying series, Appiah has advocated for incentives for his players.

“Senegal is a strong team, but they are not the only ones, and we are also one of the best teams on the continent. We have performed well, and everyone is now talking about the team as strong. We have achieved part of our goals, and now we aspire to achieve more,” he said as quoted by Koora.com.

He continued: “I hope that the federation will give incentive bonuses to the players, as they deserve it after the great performance they gave. Such incentives will help them achieve a positive result against a big team like Senegal, which will enhance our chances even more.”

Meanwhile, Appiah has yet to join camp in Saudi Arabia after initial boycott due to unpaid entitlements.

However, the arrival of his compatriots, Ignatius Osei Fosu and Eric Amponsah in camp gives an indication Appiah will also join for the matches.
