Guinea has intensified its preparations for the 2024 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) with a two-phase training camp in Morocco and Cameroon, with the goal of breaking through in the continental tournament co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda between 2nd and 30th next month.
The Syli Local arrived in Morocco on Sunday to begin a six-day rigorous training from July 13 to 19, followed by a final warm-up series of friendlies in Douala, Cameroon, ahead of the competition’s August 2 kick off.
The team will play two high-level warm-up matches in Douala against fellow CHAN 2024 participants Burkina Faso (July 24) and the Central African Republic (July 28).
The Guinean Football Federation (FGF) confirmed that both friendlies, along with all training sessions, will be held behind closed doors to ensure maximum focus and tactical secrecy.
Guinea will be competing in its fourth CHAN tournament, having previously appeared in 2016, 2018, and 2020.
Guinea has been placed in a difficult Group C alongside Algeria, Uganda, South Africa, and Niger, which promises high drama and strong rivalry.
