Guinea

The Guinea national football team, also known as Syli National (which means “National Elephants” in French), represents Guinea in men’s international football. Here are some key points about the team.

Achievements:

• Guinea has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals.
• Their best finish in the Africa Cup of Nations was as runners-up in 1976.
• The team reached the quarter-finals in four recent tournaments (2004, 2006, 2008, and 2015).

Fun fact: During the 1976 African Cup of Nations, Guinea finished second to Morocco, missing out on the championship by just one point.
