The highly anticipated match between Guinea and Kenya, scheduled for October 1 at the Stade du 28-Septembre, has generated significant interest among football fans in Conakry. However, the ticket prices announced have sparked heated debates among citizens. The match is part of the second day of qualifiers for the 2027 CAN PAMOJA. Fans have taken to social media and streets to express their opinions on the ticket prices.
According to the ticket prices announced, several categories are available: 100,000 Guinean francs for the stands, 200,000 francs for the middle tier, 300,000 francs for the covered tribune, and up to 2 million francs for the Premium category. Many citizens believe that the prices are too high, particularly for supporters who want to attend the match. Fodé Bangaly Touré, a resident of Kaloum, expressed his concerns, stating that he loves the Syli national team but is hesitant to spend 100,000 francs on a ticket.
Alhassane Condé shares similar concerns, arguing that the entire price grid is a problem. He believes that all categories are relatively expensive for many Guineans. On the internet, comments have been pouring in, with Djuigui Dadhy stating that the national team belongs to the entire people and that ticket prices should allow the largest number of supporters to attend and encourage the Syli National.
However, some internet users have a different perspective on the announced tariffs. Thierno Oumar thinks that these prices could help limit attendance and prevent potential overflows in the stadium. He suggests that this might be a strategy to avoid having the CAF withdraw the stadium's homologation immediately. In Senegal, for example, players can buy tickets for supporters.
The reactions to the ticket prices remain divided, with some people enthusiastic about the Syli's return to Conakry and others worried about the cost of access to the stadium. The announced price grid has left neither supporters nor citizens indifferent. While some people appreciate the team's efforts, others are concerned about the financial burden on fans.
The Guinea-Kenya match is expected to draw a large crowd, and the ticket prices have become a sensitive topic. The authorities will likely monitor the situation closely to ensure that the match takes place without any issues. The debate surrounding ticket prices highlights the passion and dedication of Guinean football fans.
As the match approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to watch their team play. Despite the controversy surrounding ticket prices, the excitement for the match remains high. The Syli national team's performance will likely be closely followed by fans across the country.
