The Guinean Football Federation (FEGUIFOOT) confirmed that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will hold a hearing on November 17, 2025, in Lausanne to address its dispute with the Tanzanian Football Federation and the Confederation of African Football.
This case concerns the contentious Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match between Tanzania and Guinea, which has sparked months of tension between both federations.
The dispute dates back to the return leg of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, where Guinea suffered defeat in Tanzania.
The outcome of that match triggered immediate protests from FEGUIFOOT, which later escalated into an official appeal before CAS.
Guinean officials believe irregularities occurred during the match, and they remain confident that the upcoming hearing will bring clarity and justice.
The Lausanne session will represent a crucial step in resolving one of the most discussed cases in recent African football history.
FEGUIFOOT announced that the final verdict from CAS should be revealed within a week after the hearing.
The federation described the process as a pivotal moment for Guinean football, as the ruling could determine its status in the 2025 AFCON competition.
The dispute has drawn considerable attention from both Guinean fans and regional observers, who see the case as a test of transparency and fairness in continental football governance.
Guinea’s football authorities continue to prepare their legal defense while maintaining optimism that CAS will rule in their favor.
As the November date approaches, both sides will submit their final arguments and evidence.
The decision will likely bring an end to months of uncertainty that have overshadowed Guinea’s qualification campaign and stirred debate within the African football community.
