Football - Guinea: Shocking Revelations About Unpaid Bills and Salaries

The Guinean Football Federation (FGF) is going through a difficult financial period, compounded by political tensions, threatening the stability of national football.

During the November 2025 international break, the Guinean national team, the Syli National, narrowly avoided humiliation. An unpaid bill of nearly one million dollars for travel and accommodation expenses, covering flights, hotels, and logistics for some twenty players and staff, remains outstanding.

The Guinean technical staff and coach Paulo Duarte are owed up to three months' worth of salaries. This difficult situation stems from a conflict between the Ministry of Sports and the Guinean Football Federation.

The FGF president is becoming increasingly isolated due to his management style and his close ties with a foreign company managing the national team's matches. A difficult situation from which Guinea must get out before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025.
