Sudan FA in Advanced Talks for New Kwesi Appiah Deal Until 2029

Reports show the Sudan Football Association (SFA) moving toward an extension, pushing his tenure through 2029, building on his initial three-year contract signed in late 2023.

Appiah has transformed the Falcons of Jediane despite immense challenges—including the civil war back home and navigating qualifying success.

Appiah’s current agreement is due to expire in June 2028, but the proposed deal would extend his commitment to the country by an additional year.

The move highlights the federation’s reported confidence in the Ghanaian coach and its preference for continuity as Sudan continues their work at the international level.

While discussions are said to be progressing, the SFA has yet to formally confirm an agreement or announce the terms of a new contract. 

Appiah has achieved remarkable success with the Sudan National Team since taking charge in September 2023.

He guided Sudan to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, notably finishing ahead of and eliminating his home country, Ghana, in the qualifiers.

The Ex-Ghanaian International led Sudan to the Round of 16 at the tournament, picking up a historic group stage win against Equatorial Guinea (their first AFCON win in decades)
