Sudan is one of the oldest teams in Africa and won the1970 Africa Cup of Nationsas hosts.[4]
History
editBeginning and an African giant (1946–1970)
editTheSudan Football Associationwas founded in 1936 and thus it became one of the oldest football associations to exist in Africa. However, before the foundation of the Football Association, Sudan had started experiencing football brought to the country by the British colonizers since early 20th century via Egypt. Other Sudanese clubs founded at that time includeAl-Hilal Omdurman,Al-Merrikh,which led to popularization of football in the country. TheKhartoum Leaguebecame the first national league to be played in Sudan, laying ground for the future development of Sudanese football.
Being experienced early with football, Sudan was quick to affiliate itself withFIFAin 1948, and soon after, Sudanese officials were instrumental, along with Ethiopian, South African and Egyptian counterparts, forming theConfederation of African Footballin the Sudanese capital ofKhartoumin 1957.[5]Following the establishment of CAF, Sudan participated in the1957 African Cup of Nations,the first historicAfrica Cup of Nationswhich Sudan was host. The national team finished third, as South Africa was banned overapartheid.
During that early era, Sudan produced some of the finest players, most notably Mustafa Azhari, the captain of Sudan during this period;Nasr El-Din Abbas,who became Sudan's top scorer in the country's football team;Siddiq Manzul,who was an instrumental leader in Sudan's forward;Ali Gagarinwith his meteoric ability. Sudan then won the1970 African Cup of Nations,their only African trophy up to date.[5]
Decline (1970–2008)
editWith the retirement of a significant number of Sudanese football star at the time, the national team of Sudan deteriorated. Sudan participated in1972and1976editions, but Sudan wasn't able to get out of the group stage. At the time, Sudan was plagued by thefirstandsecond civil warsthat led to football in the country being largely unable to retain its status. Likewise, Sudan also suffered from series of political upheavals that drained the country's football resources.[5]As such, Sudan struggled to qualify for another AFCON, and the country has yet to qualify for a singleFIFA World Cup.Only Libya being the other major Arab country in Africa to have never achieved the feat. Often Sudan participated in AFCON qualification and majority finished in bottom or near bottom of their qualification. This was totally contrasted to their successes in club competition, as Sudanese clubs were omnipresent inCAF Champions League.[5]
Small resurgence (2008–2012)
editOn 9 September 2007, Sudan beat World Cup participant Tunisia 3–2 at home, making Sudan the top finisher in the2008 Africa Cup of Nations qualificationGroup 4. This meant Sudan had finally returned to the AFCON after 32 years. In the2008 Africa Cup of Nations,their first in 32 years, Sudan was grouped in group C, which they shared with Egypt, Cameroon and Zambia. Sudan lost all three competitive games finishing at the bottom of their group.
Sudan reached the final round of the2010 World Cup qualifiersbut finished last with only a point, failing to reach AFCON and World Cup.
Sudan (as hosts) automatically qualified for the2011 African Nations Championship.They finished top of their group which consisted of Algeria, Uganda and Gabon to then advance to the knockout stages. After defeating Niger on penalties in the quarterfinals, they lost against Angola in the semifinals (also on penalties) to then win 1–0 against former groupmates Algeria (who also lost on penalties in the semifinals) and finish third in the Championship, their first top 4 finish in a major African tournament since 1970.
In the2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualification,Sudan was once again in the same group with Ghana, alongside Swaziland and Congo. Sudan lost only one game and reached the tournament In the2012 Africa Cup of Nations,ingroup B,Sudan finished second behind Ivory Coast, and overcame Angola by goal difference to reach the knockout stage for the first time since 1970. Sudan played Zambia in the last eight, and lost 0–3. Zambia would go on to win the tournament for the first time.
Downfall (2012–2018)
editIn2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification,Sudan suffered a huge blow when they lost to neighbor Ethiopia by away goal, losing 0–2 inAddis Ababaafter a very eventful 5–3 win at home, thus missed out the competition. Since then, Sudan continued to struggle qualifying for the African Cup of Nations for the next 7 years. They also had no success qualifying for the African Nations Championship after their 3rd-place finish in 2011 for a while until 2018.
Fluctuation (2018–present)
editIn 2018 they qualified for the2018 African Nations Championshipafter failing to do so in two previous competitions and finished 3rd place, and it was seen as a signal heralding a new era of Sudanese football. Shortly after, with an almost identical crop of players, Sudan succeeded in qualifying for the2021 Africa Cup of Nations,finishing ahead of powerhouseSouth Africa,including two famous wins at home againstGhanaand South Africa and eliminated the South Africans in process, successfully returned to the AFCON after nine years. The optimism increased when Sudan beatLibya1–0 in the qualification for the2021 FIFA Arab Cup,under the same management of French coachHubert Velud,making impressions that Sudan would soon recover its glorious place among Arab and African football nations.
However, Sudan had a disastrous opening during the2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.Being drawn with the likes of a fellow Arab state and powerhouseMorocco,as well asGuinea-BissauandGuineawhich have never taken part in a World Cup like Sudan, the Sudanese were still being regarded as somewhat better than the two Guineas and could be a potential competitor against Morocco. Sudan started its quest with a 0–2 away to the Moroccans inRabat,which was seen as acceptable. Yet in the home fixture against Guinea-Bissau, Sudan was completely trashed by the Bissau-Guineans 2–4, to leave the team in the bottom place and reducing hopes to qualify for a maiden World Cup. Sudan's hope was completely dashed after winning only two points after two consecutive draws over Guinea, effectively making Sudan the first team to be eliminated in the group.
Since the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the Sudan national football team, also known as the "Falcons of Jediane," has experienced notable developments in international competitions.
In the2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.Sudan began their campaign strongly in June 2024, defeating South Sudan 3-0 in a Group B match. Key players like Yasir Mozamil Mohamed and Mohamed Abdel Raman contributed significantly to the victory. This result placed Sudan at the top of their group early in the qualifiers, with future games set against stronger teams like Senegal.2025 Africa Cup of NationsDespite ongoing civil conflict forcing them to play matches abroad, Sudan secured a spot in the 2025 AFCON. They finished second in their group behind Angola, with crucial performances in October and November 2024. A notable achievement was their draw against Angola, which cemented their qualification. This success highlighted their resilience and ability to compete under challenging circumstances.
