A survey conducted by Fondation Perceptis has shed light on the expectations of Guinean football stakeholders regarding the new president of the Fédération guinéenne de football. The survey, which gathered responses from various stakeholders, reveals that financial transparency is a top priority, with 95% of respondents calling for the federation to publish its accounts annually. This suggests a strong desire for more transparent management and accountability within the federation.

The survey also found that 64% of respondents consider the president's program to be more important than their profile. This indicates that stakeholders are looking for concrete proposals, a clear vision, and tangible commitments to address the challenges facing Guinean football. The president's program should therefore focus on specific initiatives and strategies to drive progress in the sport.

The attractiveness of the national championship is another concern, with 72% of survey participants stating that they only follow the competition through results or do not follow it at all. This highlights the need to increase interest in domestic competitions and explore ways to make them more engaging for fans. The survey's findings suggest that the new president will need to prioritize this issue to boost the sport's popularity.

In terms of the electoral process, 51% of respondents believe that clubs and supporters should participate in the election of the new president. This underscores the debate surrounding the inclusivity of the electoral process and the role of different football stakeholders in federal governance. The new president will need to consider these concerns when appointing their team and making key decisions.

The survey, which was participatory and open to all stakeholders, gathered a significant number of responses. However, the lack of information on the number and profile of respondents means that the results should be interpreted with caution and may not be representative of the entire Guinean football community. Nevertheless, the findings provide valuable insights into the concerns and expectations of stakeholders.

The Fondation Perceptis survey was conducted in collaboration with Guinéenews, a local news outlet. The results were made public in a bid to promote transparency and accountability within the federation. By sharing the findings, the foundation aims to encourage the new president to prioritize the concerns and expectations of stakeholders.

Overall, the survey highlights the need for the new president of the Fédération guinéenne de football to prioritize financial transparency, a credible program, and tangible results. The president will need to balance these competing demands while also addressing the concerns of various stakeholders, including clubs, supporters, and fans. By doing so, they can help drive progress and growth in Guinean football.
