Madagascar's Barea Arrives in Uyo for AFCON Qualifier
The Madagascar men’s national football team, known as Barea, arrived in Uyo on September 21 as they prepare for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Nigeria’s Super Eagles. A 28-man delegation, including players and officials, landed at Victor Attah International Airport around 2:05 PM and proceeded to their hotel after completing immigration formalities.
Additional team members are expected to arrive on September 22. The match is scheduled for September 25 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, kicking off at 5 PM Nigerian time.
Coach Corentin Martins leads the team, which is looking to draw confidence from their previous encounter with Nigeria, where they achieved a 2-0 victory during the group stage of the 2019 AFCON in Egypt. Following the match against Nigeria, Madagascar will return home to face Tanzania’s Taifa Stars in their second qualifying fixture four days later.
