Group B in the CAF World Cup qualifiers will get underway this week, with Sudan taking on Togo at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium on Thursday evening.
As has been the case for the last few months, the Sudan Football Association have decided to play their home games in Libya due to the ineligibility of Sudanese stadiums according to CAF standards.
Sudan will begin their quest to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup here after failing to qualify for the African Cup of Nations earlier in the year when they finished at the bottom of their group.
During that competition, The Sudan recorded two wins and four losses in their six matches in a group that featured DR Congo, Mauritania and Gabon.
However, since then, Sudan have managed to avoid defeat in their last two friendly matches, holding Tanzania to a 1-1 draw before claiming a hard-fought 1-0 win against Chad last month, since appointing Ghanaian Kwasi Appiah as coach.
While Sudan have experienced an uptick in results since their poor AFCON qualification campaign, there has been very little consistency in the starting team, which could prove costly for them in this competition.
