Guinea-Bissau's national team faces criticism after a disappointing loss to Madagascar, with Super Eagles coach Lawal blasting the team's performance as 'overhyped,' per Leadership.ng.

The country's football officials are under scrutiny following the defeat, as CAF has appointed new Ethiopian officials for the Guinea-Bissau-Nigeria AFCON qualifier, Bloomberg reports.

Meanwhile, local media in Bissau have noted that the government continues to deny approval of a US-funded baby vaccine trial, despite international interest, per TRT Afrika.
