As Sudan football team prepares to tie with Nigeria in the on going 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, on Saturday, Sudan national team head coach, Burhan Tia, has made an honest confession.
This weekend, Sudan will take on Nigeria in their second Group D fixture at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium in Garoua.
The Falcons of Jediane head to the game following a 0-0 draw against Guinea-Bissau in their first game on Tuesday, while the Super Eagles defeated Egypt 1-0.
Asked about facing Nigeria in their next group game, Tia said it would not be easy.
“It will not be easy, as well as facing Egypt, but these are matches that we have put in our minds and our program before the tournament,” Tia was quoted by Filgoal as saying.
Meanwhile, Nigeria are on top of Group D with 3 points from one game, while Sudan are in the third position with 1 point.
