Northern Ireland set to face Guinea for the first time as international friendly is announced for June
It has been confirmed that Northern Ireland will face Guinea in an international friendly in June.
The game will take place on Thursday, June 4 at the Estadio Ciudad de La Línea, La Línea de la Concepción, in the Province of Cádiz, Spain, with kick-off time to be confirmed.
The fixture, which is the first time the two countries will face each other in an international match, comes just four days ahead of the friendly against France in Lille.
Guinea will be the fourth African nation Northern Ireland have played in a full international, following matches against South Africa, Algeria and, most recently, Morocco, when a friendly in Belfast in 2010 ended 1-1.
Both matches will serve as preparation for the UEFA Nations League campaign, where the team will compete in League B, Group B2, facing a challenging trio of opponents: Hungary, Ukraine and Georgia across September, October and November this year.
