CAN 2025 / Equatorial Guinea - Sudan: head-to-head history

28.12.25 FT AFCON - Africa Cup of Nations

Equatorial Guinea

Sudan

The history between Equatorial Guinea and Sudan is brief but unequivocal. Two meetings, two victories for Equatorial Guinea: a pragmatic 1-0 win in Bata in 2018, followed by a resounding 4-1 triumph the following year on Sudanese soil. A straightforward dominance on paper, yet one that carries significant weight heading into this third encounter.

This Sunday, December 28, 2025, the stage shifts: Stade Mohammed V, Casablanca, a true CAN 2025 atmosphere where the outcome is decided on the pitch, not on paper. Sudan is determined to break the cycle.

Equatorial Guinea, meanwhile, approaches with a cold-blooded certainty: history has always been on their side. But the Africa Cup of Nations never follows a script. Today, the tide could turn.

As a reminder, both teams sit in 3rd and 4th place in Group E of CAN 2025 with zero points after defeats to Algeria and Burkina Faso on the opening day.
