The Madagascar national team is set to play two friendly matches away, against Togo and Kosovo in March.

According to a communiqué from the Malagasy Football Federation (FMF), both matches will take place in two different cities in France.

The first match against Togo is set to be played on March 21 in Saint Leu La Foret while the second match against Kosovo will be played on March 24 in Franconville.

The Nicolas Dupuis coached side will use the friendlies as part of preparation for the ongoing 2019 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers with their second match set to be played away against Senegal in September this year.

Madagascar is in Group A alongside Sudan and Equatorial Guinea. Senegal tops the pool followed by Malagasy while Equatorial Guinea sits rock bottom.
