Sudan's footballers defy their country's civil war to clinch a remarkable qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with Benin also progressing.
Sudan's footballers have defied the nation's civil war to clinch a remarkable qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after a tense last round of matches that also saw Benin progress to next year's finals.
However, they managed to secure second place in Group F after playing out a goalless draw against already-qualified Angola in Libya. The North Africans could have qualified instead had they won on home soil in Tripoli, but Benin ultimately went through courtesy of their superior head-to-head record with Rwanda.
