Madagascar sack entire team before qualifier Madagascar have sacked their entire national team and will replace them with under-23 players for Sunday's African Nations Cup qualifier against Nigeria, officials said on Wednesday
The team was disbanded after poor performances in this month's Indian Ocean Islands Games and a row over allowance payments. Frank Rajaonarisamba has also replaced Maurice Mosa as coach. “We already felt the atmosphere in the team was not serene before the team left for the Games,” Malagasy Football Federation vice president Doda Andriamiasasoa told the country's L'Express newspaper. “The players had demanded more money and boycotted training. Such behaviour is unworthy of players called to defend the colours of their country.” The country's Olympic team will now take on the powerful Nigeria in Antananarivo on Sunday, a decision that boosts Nigeria's hopes of catching up Group B leaders Guinea. Madagascar lie bottom of the group with one point from four games.
