Guinea first entered the African Games (then called the All-African Games) in 1973. The team came away with a silver medal in the football tournament that year, beating the host nation, Nigeria.[1] The country has not sent teams to the following tournaments, returning in 1995. The country also attended in 2003, 2007, 2015, and, most recently, 2019.[2]
