Sudan sits second in Group F with seven points, three behind Angola, who have already qualified, and is one draw away from qualification with two games remaining.

The Northeast African country is also at the top of their 2026 World Cup qualifying Group B, with ten points, two ahead of Senegal after four games.

Appiah, who is a former Ghana coach is in contention for the prize alongside Emerse Fae, Hugo Broos, Pedro Gonçalves, Jose Gomes, and other six coaches.
