Mozambique - Sudan

Mozambique and Sudan face off on 29 September 2026 for matchday 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification group stage. Both sides enter this contest following contrasting starts to their respective campaigns. Mozambique arrive after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Senegal, a result that demonstrated their resilience in a competitive opening fixture. Meanwhile, Sudan enter the match with momentum on their side, having secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Ethiopia in their most recent outing.

This encounter marks the first time these two teams collide in the current qualification cycle as they look to establish dominance in Group J. While Sudan will aim to build upon the defensive solidity shown in their win against Ethiopia, Mozambique seek to convert their competitive spirit into a first victory of the campaign. With the qualification race still in its infancy, both sides will look to sharpen their attacking focus to claim the points on offer.
