Ghana’s crucial second-leg encounter against Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers will take place today in Libya, but without spectators.

The Black Stars will face Sudan at the Martyrs of February Stadium, with the match set to kick off at 13:00 GMT.

This follows a goalless draw in the first leg, which was held last Thursday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

CAF has informed both teams that the game will be played behind closed doors, although the reason for this decision has not been disclosed.

Ghana is in urgent need of a victory to keep their AFCON qualification hopes alive after failing to win any of their last three matches.

They started their campaign with a 1-0 loss to Angola, followed by a 1-1 draw against Niger, leaving them third in the group with just two points.

Sudan, on the other hand, has accumulated four points from a win, a draw, and a loss, placing them second in the group.

Both teams will be looking to secure crucial points in today’s match to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the tournament, which will be hosted in Morocco next year.
