The 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) will be a major showcase for Guinea’s emerging talents, with Mohamed Lamine Youla standing out as a key figure. The 19-year-old right winger from FC Renaissance was named best assist provider of the Guinean Ligue 1 this season[1][4], confirming his growing impact on domestic football.
Youla’s game is defined by blistering pace and dazzling dribbling skills, both of which played a pivotal role in his club’s historic season[2]. With six assists and two goals, he became the driving force behind FC Renaissance’s offensive animation[1]. Though his raw technical ability is apparent, experts note that he has room to improve his final touch, which could elevate his game to the next level[2].
Called up to Guinea’s 23-man squad for CHAN 2025[3][6], Youla is set for his first major continental test. His direct running, tactical intelligence, and one-on-one flair are assets the national team is betting on for a breakthrough tournament. Already on the radar of major clubs after a trial with Turkish giants Fenerbahçe[1], Youla’s stint at CHAN could be the springboard for a move abroad.
The mission is clear for Youla: drive Guinea’s ambitions with his attacking flair, hone his finishing skills, and make his name known throughout Africa. CHAN 2025 may mark the breakthrough that launches his career to new heights.
