Otto Addo has described Ghana v Sudan upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers as 'small finals'.

The Black Stars will clash with the Falcons in a doubleheader in the matchday three and four games in Group F.

Ghana will host Sudan in a yet-to-be-decided venue after CAF banned the Baba Yara Stadium with the second leg scheduled for the Al-Merrikh Stadium.

Ahead of the game in October, Otto Addo, who is in search of his first win of the qualifiers is expecting a tough game but beleives will record wins.

“Surely it’s [qualification] possible. Everybody who can calculate knows it’s possible,” Otto Addo stated as captured by journalist Micky Jnr on the sidelines of the ongoing CAF Coaches Symposium in Ivory Coast

“We have the advantage, now that we are playing against Sudan front and back, a direct and concrete team, surely we have to beat them.”

“These are small finals, I had a small final myself when we were successful against Nigeria.

“I think even though we started badly but Afcon qualification games we still have a bit chance to qualify when we get at least 4 out of the 2 games, yes it’s possible," he added.

Ghana kick off their qualifying campaign with a 1-0 defeat against Angola before being held to a 1-1 draw game while Kwesi Appiah led Sudan to beat Niger before suffering a 2-1 defeat against Angola.
