Guinea to request another venue as they believing it may not be safe for the team to travel to South Africa

The Guinean Football Federation is reportedly preparing to ask CAF to move its 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against South Africa to a neutral venue. The request is said to be based on safety concerns, with Guinea believing it may not be safe for the team to travel to South Africa.

The reported request comes amid concern over the treatment of African foreigners in South Africa, which Guinea appears to be citing as part of its safety argument. If the federation follows through, the matter could become a major talking point ahead of the qualifier.

CAF has not yet publicly ruled on the issue, and the final decision will likely depend on the information submitted by Guinea and any response from South African authorities.
