Guinean football federation election process

Overview

The Guinean Football Federation (FEGUIFOOT) electoral commission has provisionally validated four candidate lists for the upcoming election of the federation’s executive committee. The election is scheduled for October 27, 2026, in Conakry.

The validated lists are led by Mamadou Antonio Souaré, Ibrahima Kalil Kaba, Mamady Doumbouya, and Mohamed Chérif Haïdara. A list led by Ousmane Conté was declared provisionally inadmissible, though candidates maintain the right to appeal this decision through legal remedies provided by the FEGUIFOOT electoral code.
