James Kwesi Appiah, the head coach of the Sudan national team, has boycotted the team’s training camp due to unpaid salaries, according to AfricaSoccer.com.
The Falcons of Jediane are currently in Saudi Arabia for a 12-day training camp, preparing for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers later this month.
However, Kwesi Appiah has refused to join the camp until his unpaid entitlements are addressed. The former Black Stars coach reportedly avoided a meeting with the Vice President of the Sudan FA, Osama Atta Al-Mannan, after a visit to Ghana.
Despite the ongoing challenges, the Sudan FA is working to resolve the financial issues with Kwesi Appiah.
Sudan is set to face Senegal on March 18 and South Sudan on March 24 in the fifth and sixth rounds of the World Cup qualifiers in Group B.
Currently, Sudan sits at the top of Group B with 10 points, following an impressive performance in their first four matches.
As part of their preparations for the crucial World Cup qualifiers, Sudan has scheduled a friendly match against Jordan. The team will travel to Libya on March 17, 2025, ahead of the qualification games.
