Organization of Football in Guinea

The organization of football in Guinea is structured around a hierarchical league system, which allows clubs to rise in rank or suffer relegations based on their performances. This structure is divided into several levels, ranging from professional to amateur football.

At the top of the hierarchy is the Guinée Championnat National, which is the highest level of Guinean football. It brings together 14 professional clubs that compete for the title of champion of Guinea. The bottom three teams in the standings at the end of the season are relegated to the Ligue 2, which also comprises 14 clubs. The top two teams from this division are promoted to the Guinée Championnat National, while the bottom three descend to the Ligue Nationale.

The Ligue Nationale, the third tier, hosts semi-professional and amateur teams. The best teams from this division have the opportunity to move up to Ligue 2. Beyond the Ligue Nationale, the system continues with regional and local divisions, highlighting the depth and richness of Guinean football at all levels of competition.

The Guinean Football Federation (FGF)

The Guinean Football Federation (FGF) is the official body overseeing football in Guinea. Established in 1960, it is responsible for organizing and developing football at all levels, from amateur football to professional competitions. The FGF also manages the national teams, including the men's, women's, and youth teams. Its role includes managing the rules of the game, promoting sportsmanship, and overseeing ethics in the sport.

Under the auspices of the FGF is the Guinean Professional Football League, which manages the men's and women's professional leagues. The FGF also organizes the Guinean National Cup, a competition open to all Guinean clubs, from amateur to professional. Beyond competitions, the FGF places a strong emphasis on developing women's football, sports infrastructure, and training programs for players and coaches.
