Sudan’s national team, returning to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the first time in over nine years, have landed in Cameroon.
They were the second team to arrive in the host nation Cameroon for the 33rd edition of the continental tournament scheduled for next month.
The Falcons of Jediane landed at the Nsimalen International Airport in the capital, Yaounde on Tuesday with a delegation including players, technical staff and officials who took their COVID-19 tests at the airport before moving to their hotel.
“We made the decision to come to Cameroon early so that we can prepare well enough and also use the friendly matches to get good match fitness,” coach Burhan Tia told reporters.
The team will be based and trained in Yaounde before leaving to the city of Garoua where it will play Group D matches with Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria and Egypt.
