More members of the delegation are expected to arrive on Tuesday.

Corentin Martins’ side will face the three-time African kings at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Friday.

The Barea will then return home to host Tanzania’s Taifa Stars in their matchday two fixture four days later.

Madagascar will take confidence from their meeting with Nigeria, when they recorded a 2-0 victory over the Super Eagles in the group stage of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
