Guinea’s interim head of state, Colonel Mamady Doumbouya,
has warned national team players that they must win the 2021 Africa Cup of
Nations in Cameroon next month or refund the money invested in them.
The Syli Nationale are paired in Group B of the AFCON
alongside Malawi, Senegal, and Zimbabwe.
According to him, the national team will reimburse every
money invested in them if they fail to win the tournament.
Guinea have also never won the AFCON, with their best finish
in the tournament being a runner-up place in 1976.
However, interim President Doumbouya has tasked the team to
win the cup or risk reimbursing every money invested in them, according to
ModernGhana as per African Insider.
“The cup or you reimburse the money that’s been invested in
you,” the Guinean President was quoted as telling the players.
Guinea will kick-start its campaign against Malawi on
January 10, 2022. Guinea will be led by Liverpool star Naby Keita at Cameroon
2021.
The 33rd edition of the tournament will kick off from
January 9 to February 6.
