Madagascar's national football team, the Barea, have added a goalkeeper and a striker to their squad as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) qualifiers. The new call-ups aim to bolster the team's options in both defense and attack.
The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, marking the first time the tournament is held in East Africa. The qualifiers are set to begin in 2026, with Madagascar competing for a place in the finals.
Madagascar has previously qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019, where they reached the quarter-finals in their debut appearance. The team will look to replicate that success under the current coaching staff.
Further details about the players and their club affiliations are expected to be announced by the Malagasy Football Federation in due course.
