Ernest Nuamah, Jordan Ayew start as Otto Addo names first XI for Sudan clash

Jordan Ayew, Ernest Nuamah and Antoine Semenyo will lead the attack when Ghana take on Sudan in round three of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

In defence, Otto Addo opted for a backline of Mohammed Salisu, Alexandre Djiku, Alidu Seidu and Gideon Mensah.

The midfield has Elisha Owusu and Ibrahim Sulemana in a double pivot with Mohammed Kudus playing behind Semenyo as the chief creator.

The Black Stars have one point from two matches and need a win to get their qualifications hopes back on track.

Otto Addo's charges come up against a Sudanese team being led by former Ghana coach, Kwasi Appiah.

Sudan are second in Group F with three points while Ghana are fourth with a point.
