Captain Yves Bissouma left out by Anthony Da Silva for the upcoming international break

Mali will play three matches during the upcoming FIFA window.

Head coach Anthony Da Silva unveiled the list of players who will take part in Mali’s next training camp on Thursday 10 September. However, the list of 26 selected players, published by the Portuguese manager, features some notable absences.

Captain Yves Bissouma, Abdoulaye Diaby and Woyo Coulibaly have not been called up by Anthony Da Silva. These players will therefore not take part in the matches against Cape Verde, Liberia and Tunisia during the upcoming international break.

The Eagles will kick off the FIFA window with a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Cape Verde in Bamako. The match is scheduled for 23 September in Bamako. Mali will then travel to Liberia for the second match of these qualifiers. That match will take place on 27 September.

Six days later, Mali will play an international friendly against Tunisia. The Eagles will travel to Tunis for this fixture, scheduled for 3 October.
