Tunisia's Friendly Match Cancellation Against Mali
In a recent announcement made by the Malian Football Federation (Femafoot) on September 30, it was confirmed that the friendly match scheduled for October 3 between Mali's Eagles and Tunisia's Carthage Eagles has been canceled. This decision was made in agreement with the Tunisian Football Federation, as stated in the communication issued by Femafoot. The cancellation stems from a shortage of available players due to injuries, along with concerns regarding the potential impact of the match's outcome on FIFA rankings, prompting the Tunisian authorities to call off the fixture.
Substitute Adversary: Morocco
Amidst a challenging period for the Carthage Eagles, who have struggled in their recent qualification matches for the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), failing to secure victories in both games played last month, Femafoot quickly moved to announce a new opponent. The Eagles of Mali will now face the Moroccan national team in a friendly match on October 4, 2026. This change comes as Morocco was initially set to compete against the Ghanaian Black Stars, a match that Ghana subsequently canceled. This new arrangement allows Mali to continue its preparations for upcoming international challenges.
