The squad is mostly made up of foreign-based professionals, with a few players selected from the Malagasy league.\n\nThe match against the Super Eagles will take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on September 25. Madagascar will also host Tanzania's Taifa Stars four days later. The team will begin training for both games this weekend.\n\nThere is no information in the reports about the Super Eagles' squad or their preparations for the match. The reports also mention South Africa's Bafana Bafana, but their matches are against Guinea and Eritrea, not related to the Madagascar vs Super Eagles fixture.",
