The Guinean Football Federation (FGF) has issued a formal statement denying any claim to the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title, which was won by Morocco. The clarification comes in response to rumors circulating on social media suggesting Guinea was asserting a right to the trophy.
In its statement, the FGF emphasized its respect for the competition's history and the official results. The federation stated it has never made any such claim and called for an end to the spread of misinformation.
The 1976 AFCON, hosted by Ethiopia, was won by Morocco after a final round-robin group stage. Guinea finished as the runner-up in that tournament. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) recognizes Morocco as the sole champion for that year.
This official denial aims to quell the unfounded rumors and uphold the integrity of African football history. The FGF has urged fans and media to rely on verified information from official sources.
