The West African nation touched down in style, arriving in their beautifully made traditional African wear, dripping in navy blue and earning comparisons to the Super Eagles of Nigeria who also touched down in native attire.
Nigeria had the social media attention for their outfits, an all-white traditional attire with green trims serving as an ode to the colours of the country.

Guinea appear to have surpassed Nigeria in that regard with the photos shared on social media in which the players of Guinea are seen in their dark blue three-piece Abada.
This comes after Guinea beat Nigeria 2-0 in the pre-AFCON friendly game between both sides played in Abu Dhabi on Monday.
