The Guinean national football team, Syli national, is set to host Kenya's Harambée Stars at the Stade du 28 septembre in Conakry on October 1, 2026, for the second day of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Fans have begun gathering at the stadium's main entrance, where the team trained on September 30, eagerly awaiting tickets to the match. However, many are struggling to obtain tickets, sparking frustration among supporters.
The issue lies in the fact that tickets are being sold online, a departure from the usual practice of purchasing physical tickets. This has caused difficulties for many Guinean fans who are not accustomed to buying tickets online. Some supporters are demanding physical tickets, while others are complaining about the reduction in ticket prices, which previously ranged from 100,000 to 2,000,000 Guinean francs, now set at 50,000 GNF for the Sahara section, 100,000 GNF for the covered tribune, and 1,000,000 GNF for Premium seats.
According to reports from a meeting held at the stadium on September 30, officials have assured fans that physical tickets will be available shortly. The printing of tickets is currently underway, and fans are being asked to be patient for a few more hours. The development has sparked anxiety among fans who have been eagerly waiting to see their national team play at home after a four-year absence due to stadium homologation issues.
The Guinean Press Agency (AGP) reports that fans have been mobilizing to purchase tickets, but so far, none have been made available. The situation has created tension among supporters, who are worried that they might miss the opportunity to watch their team play. The AGP has been informed that measures are being taken to address the issue and ensure that fans can purchase tickets.
In a related development, the AGP has learned that the Guinean football team has been preparing for the match, with a training session held at the Stade du 28 septembre on September 30. The team is optimistic about their chances of winning, and fans are eagerly awaiting the match. The Kenya team is also expected to arrive at the stadium on October 1, ready to face their Guinean counterparts.
The match is part of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, and both teams will be vying for a spot in the tournament. The Guinean team has been working hard to prepare for the match, and fans are confident that they will put up a good performance. The stadium is expected to be packed with enthusiastic supporters, all eager to cheer on their team to victory.
The AGP will continue to provide updates on the situation, including any developments regarding ticket sales and the match itself. Fans are advised to remain patient and to follow official channels for updates on ticket availability.
