Guinea prepares for Syli National home return and basketball victory
The Guinean Ministry of Sports has convened an emergency technical meeting to prepare for the return of the national football team, Syli National, to home soil. Following the temporary accreditation of the Stade du 28 Septembre in Conakry by CAF, a specialized commission including representatives from the Ministry of Sports, FÉGUIFOOT, and security forces has been formed. This commission is tasked with ensuring logistical and security readiness for the upcoming AFCON 2027 qualifier against Kenya on October 1, 2026.
In basketball, the Guinea national team, Syli Basket, secured a significant 81-61 victory over Cape Verde during the fourth window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifiers. The match, held at the Radès Olympic Complex in Tunisia, follows an initial loss to South Sudan. This win revitalizes Guinea's standing in Group E. The team, coached by Corey Alan Frazier, is scheduled to face Cameroon on August 30, 2026.
