AFCON 2027 Pamoja: Guinea express safety fears for upcoming South Africa match

With the qualifiers for the 2027 Pamoja Africa Cup of Nations less than three months away, Guinea have reportedly written to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) about their safety of playing in South Africa.

The West African nation are in Group D of the qualifiers alongside South Africa, Eritrea and co-hosts Kenya.

By virtue of being co-hosts, Kenya have already secured automatic qualification for the tournament by virtue of being co-hosts alongside Tanzania and Uganda.

That leaves Eritrea, Guinea and Bafana competing for one qualifying spot from the group, a situation that Guinea national team coach Paulo Duarte has already expressed frustration about.

Though fixture dates yet to be confirmed, Guinea are now said to have raised concerns regarding their expected trip to South Africa over safety due to ongoing Xenophobic acts.

According to Afrik-Foot, the Guinean Football Federation has sent a letter to CAF expressing concerns about the safety of its team when travelling to South Africa, potentially in the coming months.

CAF are said to have received the letter and will review the matter before making a decision in due course.
