Last update: an hour agoAFCON 2027 Qualifier (Group L): Nigeria’s Super Eagles have landed in Bissau for Tuesday’s top-of-the-table clash with Guinea-Bissau at Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro, after a 2-1 comeback win over Madagascar in their opener. Both teams are level on points, with Guinea-Bissau leading on goal difference, so the match could decide who goes into the next round on top. Team News & Fitness: Coach Éric Chelle warned he may be without key players, saying George Ilenikhena has a “little something” and that two or three others are sick, with final calls to be made after training. Goalkeeper Watch: Chelle kept the starting goalkeeper decision unclear, with Stanley Nwabali, Maduka Okoye and Arthur Okonkwo all in contention. Preparation Concerns: Chelle also complained about limited training sessions due to the FIFA window, but insisted the squad is ready. Officials & Kick-off: CAF has appointed Ethiopian referee Tewodros Mitiku and a full Ethiopian team, with Senegal’s Yaya Balde as match commissioner; kick-off is set for 5pm Nigeria time. Politics in Guinea-Bissau: President Umaro Sissoco Embaló confirmed he will seek a second term, ending months of speculation and raising the stakes for an already fragile political period. Health & Food Security: A new Oceana-led study says more equitable fishing access could help nutrient-poor West Africa, naming Guinea-Bissau among countries that could benefit if nutrient-rich fish are kept and consumed locally.
