Kyrgyzstan vs Madagascar: match preview

The Kyrgyzstan national team reached the third round of qualification for the 2026 World Cup but were unable to progress any further. They fought until the very end, but eight points were not enough to advance. After the qualification campaign, they also competed in the CAFA Nations Cup, where they failed to reach the playoffs, finishing bottom of the table.

Madagascar went through qualification in their confederation as well but were unable to produce a historic breakthrough or a surprise result. The team finished second in their qualifying group, but in the ranking of second-placed teams, Madagascar fell short of World Cup qualification, as their 13 points were not enough. The national side will now play two friendly matches—first against Kyrgyzstan, followed by a game against Equatorial Guinea.
