Guinea’s U-17 women’s team played out a 2-2 draw against Sierra Leone in the first leg of their FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2025 qualifier on Saturday in Freetown.
The tightly contested encounter saw both sides eager to secure an advantage ahead of the return leg.
Guinea managed to find the net twice but were unable to hold off Sierra Leone, who fought back to ensure the match ended level.
Neutral Venue for Guinea’s Home Leg
Guinea will now have to secure their qualification hopes away from home, as the return fixture is set to take place on March 15, 2025, in Bamako, Mali.
The team is forced to play outside its borders due to the unavailability of an approved stadium within Guinea that meets international standards.
With a place in the next round at stake, both teams will look to make the most of the second leg, where Guinea will hope to capitalize on neutral territory to advance in the qualifiers.
