There is only one official meeting in the record books: on the night of January 30, 2012, Sudan claimed a 2-1 victory and secured a historic qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. More than twelve years later, the two nations meet again\u2014this time in a dramatically different context and under a whole new kind of pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s CAN 2025 clash is much more than just a statistical milestone: it marks only the second official encounter in their history. While the legacy slightly favors Sudan, football\u2019s memory offers no guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>A decade has passed, squads have changed, and the African football landscape has evolved. Tonight, a new chapter will be written\u2014and the past counts for nothing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/2025-sudan-burkina-faso-head-102000121.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAN 2025 \/ Sudan &ndash; Burkina Faso: who holds the historical edge?
