1. History
Guinea made their debut in football in an away friendly on the 9th of May 1962. They lost 2-1 against Togo. in 1963, Guinea entered its first qualifying campaign for the Africa Cup of Nations, the tournament held in Ghana. Participating in a two-legged qualifying match in the match against Nigeria, Guinea drew the first game 2-2 away on the 27th of July. Then, the following day, they won at home 1-0 to win the match 3-2 in an aggregate. They were later disqualified for having Guinean officials during the second game which meant that Nigeria advanced to the finals instead. in 1965 Guinea began qualifying for the African Cup of Nations in Tunisia and was placed in the group A alongside Senegal as well as Mali. On February 28 they were defeated 2-0 by Senegal but then beat the hosts 3-0 in their home stadium on the 31st of March. winning 3-0 over Mali was enough to allow the team to be selected in place of Guinea.
At in the year 1976, at the African Cup of Nations the Guinean team came second to Morocco and missed out on the title by a single point.
The year 2001 was the time that FIFA removed the United States from qualification for 2002 World Cup and the 2002 World Cup and 2002 African Cup of Nations due to interference by the government in the game. The country returned to international competition in September 2002 following an absence of two years from the competition. At the 2004, African Cup of Nations, Guinea reached the quarterfinals with the first goal against Mali but losing 2-1 and scoring the winner in the closing minute of the game. Guinea made it to the quarter-finals in 2006 winning a 1-0 lead against Senegal but losing to Senegal 3-2. The year 2008 saw Guinea advance to the quarterfinals in the Africa Cup of Nations for the third time in a row but fell to an 5-0 loss to Cote d'Ivoire.
