2015 AFCON – Group D: Guinea Starting XI vs. Ivory Coast
Guinea will kick off their 2015 Africa Cup of Nations campaign today at 4 p.m. GMT in Malabo, facing one of the tournament favorites, Ivory Coast, in what promises to be a tightly contested Group D opener.
Coach Michel Dussuyer has opted for a strong and balanced starting eleven, with Kevin Constant making his return to the national side after missing the qualifiers due to administrative issues. The attack will be led by Mohamed Yattara and Ibrahima Traoré, both crucial in Guinea’s journey to the tournament.
🇬🇳 Guinea Starting XI:
Goalkeeper: Naby Yattara
Defenders: Sylla Issiaga, Florentin Pogba, Fodé Camara, Baissama Sankoh
Midfielders: Naby Kéita, Boubacar Fofana, Kevin Constant
Forwards: Ibrahima Conté, Ibrahima Traoré, Mohamed Yattara
This match is especially significant for Guinea, not only because it marks their return to AFCON after missing the 2013 edition, but also due to the backdrop of playing all qualifiers away from home amid the Ebola crisis.
