Guinea-Bissau Stuns Super Eagles in AFCON Qualifiers

Shock results rocked the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Tuesday as former champions Ghana and Nigeria, along with World Cup surprise package Cape Verde, suffered unexpected defeats. Guinea-Bissau clipped the Super Eagles' wings in one of the day's biggest upsets, while Ghana's Black Stars were also dimmed in their match. Turning to Kenya's campaign, the Harambee Stars are seeking redemption in their AFCON 2027 qualifying match against Guinea on Thursday after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Eritrea. In a separate development, Kenya's Shujaa will field a significantly revamped squad at the upcoming Africa Men's Sevens tournament in Mauritius, with coach Kevin Wambua prioritizing emerging talent over several established players. Additionally, Nairobi is set to host the Unstoppable Africa Awards 2026 on October 31, celebrating African excellence across sport, entertainment, business, leadership, and humanitarian action.
