Fresh off a resounding 4-1 victory over the Central African Republic, Madagascar are setting their sights on a formidable opponent—Ghana—as they prepare for their next 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

With the crucial clash set for Monday at the Al Hoceima Stadium in Morocco, Madagascar’s head coach, Corentin Martins, is fully aware of the challenge ahead. Despite the limited preparation time, Martins remains committed to ensuring his team is ready for battle.

“We are going to train as best as we can and then try to play the best game possible,” he affirmed, emphasizing their determination to make the most of their brief window to prepare.

The Barea face not only a quick turnaround but also the challenge of maintaining physical and mental sharpness after their recent triumph. Still, Martins remains optimistic despite the quality of their Ghanaian opponents.

“We will face a very good Ghana team, but we will play to our players and our strengths,” he stated confidently.

Madagascar will lean on tactical discipline, teamwork, and their unique playing style to stand a chance against the Black Stars. With the right strategy and unwavering dedication, Martins’ men aim to defy expectations and make a bold statement in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
