Sudan chasing history in CHAN 2025

Few would have predicted a semifinal clash between Madagascar and Sudan, but this tournament has proven once again the unpredictability and depth of African football. While Madagascar has been building steadily as a force in the region, Sudan’s run has been nothing short of remarkable.

The Falcons of Jediane, coming from a nation still facing deep challenges off the pitch, stunned many by advancing from the group stage after a stunning 4-0 victory over Nigeria, a draw against Senegal, and then eliminating Algeria on penalties in the quarterfinals. That triumph secured their third-ever CHAN semifinal appearance.

Madagascar the rising power

On the other side, Madagascar continues to confirm its rise in African football. Known for their disciplined play and tactical strength, they enter this semifinal determined to make the most of their opportunity and reach the final for the first time in the nation’s history.

Both nations now stand just one win away from a historic final appearance. For Sudan, it would be a triumph of resilience during difficult times. For Madagascar, it would be proof that their long-term development is bearing fruit on the continental stage.
