"I have never been Malagasy": 8 years after his refusal, a Ligue 1 goalkeeper on Madagascar's list for the CAN 2027 qualifiers

Zacharie Boucher, goalkeeper for Troyes, is included for the first time in Madagascar's squad for the CAN 2027 qualifiers, after having declined to join the Barea in 2018, stating: "I am French, I have never been Malagasy." At 34 years old, he could make his debut against Nigeria on September 25. Coach Corentin Martins also called up forward Roman Ferber and recalled Warren Caddy.
