Cursed in the African Cup of Nations, Mali finally wants to overcome the Indian sign. Never titled in the competition, often eliminated in the semi-finals, knocked out in the quarter-finals of the last edition by Ivory Coast, the selection begins a new cycle, supposed to lead it towards the CAN 2025 in Morocco. With, at its head, the Belgian Tom Saintfiet, appointed at the end of August to take over a team in full crisis.
This one starts its journey with a qualifying campaign, in which the Eagles were placed in the same group as Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, by whom it was held on Friday (1-1) despite a goal from Yves Bissouma, and Eswatini (ex-Swaziland), its opponent this Tuesday. Modest 155th in the FIFA ranking, the latter has never yet played in the final phase of an international competition.
The match between Eswatini and Mali will be broadcast this Tuesday from 3 p.m. on beIN Sports 3.
