The qualifying campaign for the final stages of the African Cup of Nations in Morocco in 2025 is almost over for Madagascar. Monday October 14, 2024, Barea lost 1 to 0 against Gambia. After the draw on Friday and with only 2 points in four days, qualification becomes utopian.
The Madagascar team reduced its chances of qualifying to a trickle this Monday, October 14, 2024, by losing 1 to 0 against The Gambia. After the draw, 1 to 1 (Friday October 11 in Morocco) against the Scorpions gave some color to the players of the Big Island.
The Barea, last in Group A (in the race for the two qualifying places for CAN 2025 in Morocco), had opened the door to an exploit. This closed suddenly, Monday at the end of the day in Morocco during the fourth match of the group.
CAN 2025 is still far away, there are matches left, but with such a delay (two points in four matches), without an approved stadium to accommodate their opponents, the Malagasy team is condemned to play all its matches away, writes Madagascar Express.
Mathematically, there is a tiny chance of making their way to the final phases scheduled for the end of December 2025 and the beginning of January 2026, but the Barea are no longer masters of their destiny. Not only are defeats or draws forbidden, but we must also count on some failures on the part of the competitors.
After this fourth match, and before the meeting between the Comoros and Tunisia at the end of the day, Madagascar is last in group A. It is ahead of the Gambia and the Comoros (5 points) and Tunisia (6 points).
At the end of the final meeting, this Tuesday either Tunisia and the Comoros share the points, or one of the two teams will occupy the sole lead of this group. A situation which condemns Madagascar to fight for a hypothetical second place, confirms 2424.mg by titrating: “Madagascar on the verge of elimination…”.
