Published on: 16 September 2026

Guinea have announced their squad for the Coupe d’Afrique des Nations (CAN 2027) qualifiers against South Africa and Kenya, with Serhou Guirassy included and Ilaix Moriba returning after several months away.

Former captain Naby Keita is among the notable absentees, while forwards Morgan Guilavogui and Mohamed Bayo have also been left out of the squad.

Despite those omissions, the Syli National have selected a group combining experience with younger players. Guirassy is one of the senior figures expected to lead the team, while Moriba’s return provides another notable option in midfield.

Goalkeepers: Soumaila Sylla, Mory Keita, Mohamed Camara (Richard).

Defenders: Sekou Sylla, Mohamed Soumah, Ibrahim Breze Fofana, Mory Konate, Saidou Sow, Aboubacar Keita, Diackite.

Midfielders: Madiou Keita, Lass Kourouna, Seydouba Cisse, Ilaix Moriba, Ousmane Diabate, Sory Bangoura.

Forwards: Morlaye Sylla, Aguibou Camara, Diaby Yadaly, Aliou Balde, Mohamed Bangoura, Ousmane Camara, Serhou Guirassy, Abdoul Traore, Lamine Diaby-Fadiga.
