The Guineans suffered a heavy 6-2 defeat to the Eagles of Mali in a warm-up game played on Saturday in Bamako.

The team departed Bamako International Airport on Sunday morning and arrived in Abidjan later the same day.

The Djurtus will play the opening game against the host Ivory Coast on Friday and later face Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria in the competition.
