Following a tragic aftermath of their recent victory, the team urges fans to savor the moment responsibly, ensuring football remains a source of joy, not sorrow.

Guinea's soccer team has urged fans to celebrate responsibly following their recent victory over Gambia at the Africa Cup of Nations, after several fans were killed in traffic accidents during the ensuing celebrations.
The Guinea soccer federation released a video message on social media featuring the team’s coach and players, all voicing a unified call for peaceful celebrations.
Federation spokesman, Amadou Makadji, emphasized the need for fans to savor the moment but to do so responsibly, to ensure that football does not become a source of sorrow for families.
Guinea is a country where people are very passionate about football and they experience football like nowhere else in the world, according to Makadji.
Guinea's next match is against Senegal, and a draw would be enough for them to reach the knockout stages of the tournament.
