Madagascar head coach Corentin Martins has said that his team is in a confident and motivated mood ahead of their opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against the Super Eagles. Recall that the Barea will face Nigeria in a Group L encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, tonight.
Admitting the tough challenge ahead while speaking at a press conference, Martins insisted that his players are determined to compete and secure a positive result.

Corentin added that even though his players are still trying to recover from their long trip, they’ll give everything on the pitch.
His words, “There’s a lot of motivation. We’re playing against a big African nation with good players.
We’ve prepared well and are trying to recover from our long trip. We’re motivated to play well.”
