We do not want deaths to be mourned, so we call on everyone to celebrate but to take care of themselves so that nothing happens to them.</em></p> <p><em>“Guinea is a country where people are very, very passionate about football, and they experience football like nowhere else in the world,”</em> He added.</p> <p>Guinea secured the second position in Group C with four points courtesy of a goal scored by Aguibou Camara.</p> <p>The country is currently two points behind the reigning champions Senegal but three points ahead of Cameroon, who are in third place and have won the tournament five times.</p> <p>On the other hand, the Gambians are at the bottom of the group with just one point.</p> <p>However, while commenting on the latest incident, one of the star players in the Guinea side, Pascal Feindouno, said: <em>“I have a message to send to Guinean men and women,” the 42-year-old, who played at four Nations Cups, told the BBC in Yamoussoukro, where the team are based.</em></p> <p><em>“Rest assured that we will do something at the Nations Cup, but we have learned something that will destabilise us. We learned there were deaths after the victory against The Gambia – we want this to stop because we are here to defend the colours of the country.</em></p> <p><em>“Everything is going well for us at the moment, so support the country but don’t do anything to kill each other or oneself. Stay calm – thank you,</em>” Feindouno reportedly told BBC Sports Africa.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/22/afcon-six-guinea-fans-die-while-celebrating-match-victory-against-gambia/">AFCON: Six Guinea Fans Die While Celebrating Match Victory Against Gambia</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
