Madagascar confirm a 25-man squad ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Nigeria’s Super Eagles. The game is scheduled for Friday, September 25, with Nigeria set to host the Group L fixture in Uyo.
The squad is led by head coach Corentin Martins, who names the team for the trip to the match venue. One report also indicates the coach is expected to include three new players, while suggesting additional selections may come from the Malagasy domestic league. Other outlets note the broader qualification context, with Madagascar and other teams preparing to finalize their squads for their respective matches around the same window.
While outlets differ on the emphasis—some focusing on the confirmed squad size and match details, others on the expectation of new or league-based inclusions—both agree Madagascar are finalizing their lineup under Corentin Martins for the AFCON qualifier against Nigeria in Uyo on September 25.
