Episode Notes

Madagascar arrived at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt carrying decades of ambition and the pride of Malagasy supporters. Explore how Nicolas Dupuis brought experienced internationals and players from the diaspora together to give the Barea a confident football identity. Meetings with Nigeria, Guinea, and DR Congo tested their organisation, creativity, and composure on an unfamiliar stage. What made this AFCON debut resonate so deeply in Antananarivo and beyond? An educational journey through Madagascar’s football history, the people behind its breakthrough, and the structural challenges that made sustaining that promise a different task from revealing it.
