Wikipedia - Guinea national football team
The Guinea national football team (French: Équipe de football de Guinée) represents Guinea in men's international football and is controlled by the Guinean Football Federation. They have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals, and their best finish in the Africa Cup of Nations was runners-up in 1976. The team reached the quarter-finals in four recent tournaments (2004, 2006, 2008 and 2015). The team represents both FIFA and Confederation of African Football (CAF).
History
Guinea made their footballing debut in an away friendly on 6 December 1958, losing 6–1 against Ghana. In 1963, Guinea entered its first qualification campaign for an Africa Cup of Nations, the 1963 tournament in Ghana. Drawn in a two-legged qualifier against Nigeria, Guinea drew the first leg 2–2 away on 27 July, and on 6 October won 1–0 at home to win 3–2 on aggregate. They were later disqualified for using Guinean officials in the second leg, and Nigeria went through to the finals in their place. In 1965, Guinea entered the qualifiers for the 1965 African Cup of Nations in Tunisia and was placed in Group A with Senegal and Mali. On 28 February, they lost 2–0 in Senegal before beating them 3–0 at home on 31 March, Senegal's win over Mali allowed them to qualify instead of Guinea.
During the 1976 African Cup of Nations the Guinean team finished second to Morocco, only missing out on the championship by a point.
In 2001, FIFA expelled the country from the qualification process of the 2002 World Cup and 2002 African Cup of Nations due to government interference in football. They returned to international action in September 2002 after a two-year ban from competition. In the 2004 African Cup of Nations, Guinea reached the quarter-finals, scoring the first goal against Mali before ultimately losing 2–1, conceding the winning goal in the last minute of the match. Guinea reached the quarter-final stage again in the 2006 tournament, taking the lead against Senegal before losing 3–2. 2008 saw Guinea reach the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations for a third successive tournament, only to suffer a 5–0 defeat against Côte d'Ivoire.
In 2012, Guinea beat Botswana 6–1 in the group stage of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, becoming the first side to score six goals in an Africa Cup of Nations game since Côte d'Ivoire in 1970. The team subsequently exited the tournament at the group stage after a draw against Ghana.
On 4 January 2016, CAF lifted a ban on Guinea playing their home international in Guinea after it was declared free of Ebola by the U.N. World Health Organization in December 2015.
Guinea's national colors are red, yellow, and green, reflecting the country's vibrant culture and heritage. The team's home matches are typically played at the Stade du 28 Septembre in Conakry, which has a passionate fan base that rallies behind the players during both regional and international tournaments.
Over the years, Guinea has produced several notable soccer talents, including legendary players like Abedi Pelé, who have made significant contributions to the sport both domestically and abroad. The team has participated in multiple Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournaments, showcasing their competitive spirit and determination on the continental stage.
While Guinea has yet to secure an AFCON title, the team is known for its resilience and skill, often making deep runs in the tournament and earning respect from opponents. The players embody the spirit of unity and pride, representing the hopes and aspirations of their nation on the global soccer stage. As they continue to develop and nurture new talent, the Guinea national team remains a symbol of hope and ambition for the country's soccer future.
