2027 AFCON Qualifier: Nigeria �� Vs Madagascar ��. Who Are You Backing?
Madagascar are coming to Uyo with confidence.
Ahead of Friday's 2027 AFCON qualifier, Madagascar midfielder Rayan Raveloson says the Barea are not intimidated by Nigeria's star-studded Super Eagles.
And honestly, this is the kind of statement that should get Nigerian football fans talking.
