Dr Randy Abbey, a member of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has declared the Black Stars must secure victories against Sudan in their upcoming doubleheader.
On Friday, October 11, at the Accra Sports Stadium, Ghana and the Falcons will square off in the third matchday of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. On Monday, October 14, at the Martyrs of February Stadium, there will be a rematch.
After losing 1-0 to Palancras Negras of Angola at Baba Yara Stadium and drawing 1-1 with Niger in Berkane, the Black Stars' qualifying campaign got off to a poor start.
The four-time African champions are now in third place with just one point as a result.
Dr. Abbey has said that the games versus Kwesi Appiah's team are crucial in light of these outcomes.
He pledged to put in all of his effort to win as it will increase their prospects of making it to the tournament in Morocco.
"We have to win this game," he said in a Metro TV interview.
We are aware of the repercussions if we lose, so we must exert every effort to win that game.
"Therefore, we must prevail in that game, and after we have resolved that, we will concentrate on the upcoming games," he continued.
Later this week, Otto Addo is anticipated to reveal his team for the games.
