French Player Zachary Bouchet Rejects Madagascar
Zachary Bouchet has been excluded from Madagascar's squad for the upcoming AFCON 2027 qualifiers, despite having been previously listed. This decision comes after past comments he made in 2018 claiming that he is not of Malagasy descent and that he was hindering his eligibility to represent the national team. He also emphasized that he is French and does not have the administrative qualifications to play for Madagascar. After reviewing these statements, the coach and the federation confirmed that the player is not eligible to represent the national team, which led to his removal from the squad. It is worth noting that Bouchet had previously rejected offers from the Madagascar national team and stated that he has never been a Malagasy citizen and holds a French passport.
