Guirassy’s visit boosts CHAN-bound Guinean team

Guinea international star Serhou Guirassy has boosted the morale of the Syli Local squad with a passionate visit to their training base in Kindia, just days before the team departed for Morocco to continue preparations for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024.
The Borussia Dortmund striker, fresh off a spectacular season in which he scored 44 goals, made the stop as part of a broader humanitarian mission in his native country to launch his charity initiative.
However, football was clearly at the heart of his agenda as he spent time encouraging the CHAN-bound squad.
Guirassy, who also played a starring role for Dortmund during the recent Club World Cup in the United States, urged the players to seize the opportunity that CHAN offers and give their all to represent the nation proudly on the continental stage.
“Stay focused and give everything on the pitch,” Guirassy told the players, adding, “This is a huge chance to show what Guinea is made of. Fight with pride and make the nation proud.”
The visit was warmly received by the Guinean Football Federation (FGF), with Mr. Mamadou Barry, FGF Vice-President, leading a delegation that welcomed Guirassy and his team.
