Madagascar Women’s National Football Team vs Eswatini Women’s National Football Team Lineups: Madagascar returns to the HOLLYWOODBETS COSAFA Women’s Championship for the first time since 2019, the year they celebrated their first victory in this regional competition.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on women’s football in the country, leading to the national team being so inactive that it no longer has FIFA standards.
However, their return to the COSAFA event means a fresh start and an opportunity for the team to re-establish themselves and revive the promise they have shown in women’s football.
In the years following its final participation, Madagascar did not participate in any international competition. However, their return to the COSAFA championship is a good step and they hope to make a big impact in the tournament. It is an opportunity for Madagascar women’s football to regain momentum and build on its previous success in the game.
