FIFA World Cup 2026 African qualifiers are underway

The Sudan national football team is all set to host the Senegal national football team in match week five of the FIFA World Cup 2026 African qualifiers. In Group B, the hosts are at the table top having won three of their four matches. The visitors are in the second spot as they have won a couple of games in the same number of matches.

Sudan national football team will be at their home but they will not be feeling very confident as they face a tough contest in the name of Senegal. Sudan secured a win in their last World Cup qualification fixture against South Sudan. It was an easy win for them as they scored three goals and conceded none.

Senegal national football team are looking in good shape and will be bringing a tough contest for Sudan. The hosts do not have a great record against Senegal and the visitors will make sure to use it against them to drop their confidence. The Lions secured a close win in their last 2026 FIFA World Cup CAF qualifiers game.

Players to Watch

Mohamed Abdel Rahman (Sudan)

Mohamed Abdel Rahman will have a big role to play in the attacking front for the hosts. The Sudan national football team has never scored a goal against Sudan, so this will be the right time for the 31-year-old forward to shine. He will have to threaten the defending lines of Senegal in order to take the upper hand.

Sadio Mane (Senegal)

Sadio Mane scored for Al Nassr in their last league game against Al Kholood. He can be a menace to the opponent’s defence and will be looking to add to his goal tally for his national side.
