The Wild Dogs, a nickname for the Guinea-Bissau national football team, have yet to secure a victory in the continental championship. Their determination is fueled by the desire to replicate the impressive performance that led to their win against the former African champions in Abuja last year. They are eager to make a mark and showcase their skills on the big stage once again.


Baciro Candé, the coach of Guinea-Bissau's national football team, has made a heartfelt promise to guide the Djurtus to their maiden triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations. The commitment comes ahead of their crucial Group A match against Nigeria's Super Eagles scheduled for Monday, as reported by Soccernet.ng. Candé is determined to lead his team to a historic victory in the tournament, showcasing the team's resilience and ambition on the football stage.


Guinea-Bissau is participating in their fourth Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), and in their previous 11 matches in the tournament, the Djurtus have experienced three draws and eight defeats. Notably, Nigeria was responsible for one of those losses during the last edition in Cameroon. In that encounter, Umar Sadiq and William Troost-Ekong scored, securing a 2-0 victory for the Super Eagles. As Guinea-Bissau faces Nigeria again, they are eager to turn the tide and strive for a positive outcome in their AFCON journey.


The Wild Dogs' journey in the Cote d’Ivoire 2023 AFCON has come to an end after suffering defeats of 2-0 against the hosts and 4-2 against Equatorial Guinea. As they prepare to face Nigeria on Monday, their focus shifts to playing for pride and securing a place in the record books. The Nigerian team, in need of a victory to enhance their chances of topping Group A, stands as a formidable opponent. Despite acknowledging the difficulty of the task, Baciro Candé, the 56-year-old coach who has guided Guinea-Bissau through each AFCON qualification, is determined to lead his team to a historic win, emphasizing their commitment to giving their best in the upcoming match.


"We are thrilled about the upcoming match tomorrow," Candé expressed to reporters. "With just one game left in the initial phase of the competition, we are fully committed to delivering a strong performance." Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Candé admitted that it won't be an easy task, but he reassured everyone that his team would give their all in the match. "It will be a tough game, but we are determined to do everything within our capacity tomorrow. Our goal is clear – we aim to secure our first-ever AFCON win in tomorrow's match." Candé's words reflect the team's enthusiasm and determination as they prepare for a significant encounter in their AFCON journey.


Expanding on the team's readiness, Candé, who witnessed Guinea-Bissau's surprising 1-0 triumph over Nigeria in the tournament's qualifying phase in Abuja, emphasized the mental preparedness of his players for the upcoming match. "I have confidence in my team, and we are aiming for a strong performance. Mentally, we are resilient; our presence here is a testament to our capabilities, as demonstrated in a good qualifying phase," he stated. While acknowledging the anticipated difficulty, Candé affirmed the team's preparedness to secure a victory in the upcoming match. "We understand the challenge ahead, but we are ready to go for the win tomorrow," he added. The coach's belief in his team's mental strength and preparation reflects the determination of Guinea-Bissau as they aim for success in this crucial AFCON fixture.
