Guinea FA Debunks ‘Walkout’ Claims In 1976 AFCON Final

The Guinean Football Federation (FGF) has vehemently denied recent reports suggesting Moroccan players staged a walkout during their crucial 1976 Africa Cup of Nations match against Guinea.

The FGF labelled the claims as “false” and entirely unsubstantiated.

In a robust statement published on sportsvillagesquare.com, the Guinean FA also dismissed speculation that it intends to challenge the outcome of the historic fixture, clarifying that no such incident took place and confirmed that no legal proceedings have been initiated with either the Confederation of African Football (CAF) or the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

“The Guinean Football Federation informs the national and international public that it has not initiated any procedure either with the Court of Arbitration for Sport or with CAF in relation to the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations,” the statement affirmed, reiterating that the reports are “inaccurate and not based on any official foundation.”
