The Black Stars coach has confirmed that the West Ham United attacking midfielder will lead the senior national team of Ghana in the all-important fixture against Sudan on Thursday.
Ghana attacker Mohammed Kudus has been named as the captain for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier against Sudan, according to coach Otto Addo.
Otto Addo confirmed the 24-year-old as interim captain of the Black Stars for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Sudan during the pre-match interview on Wednesday evening.
Kudus is taking up the huge role following the unavailability of Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, who was excluded from the two games due to illness.
The West Ham United talismanic attacker is expected to lead the four-time African champions to deliver a masterclass performance against the North African country in tomorrow's game.
The first match of the doubleheader is scheduled for Thursday, October 10, at the Accra Sports Stadium, followed by the return leg on October 14 at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Libya.
Otto Addo's side aims to secure one of the top two spots in Group F to qualify for the AFCON tournament, scheduled from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026 in Morocco.
