Madagascar are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Madagascar's AFCON debut in 2019 ended in the quarter-finals, with a 3-0 defeat by Tunisia after they had eliminated DR Congo in the round of 16. They later reached the final of the separate CHAN 2024 edition, played in 2025, losing 3-2 to Morocco on 30 August 2025. CHAN is for home-based players and is not an AFCON title.

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Madagascar would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations — the top continental honor in the Africa (CAF) region. Future opportunities depend on the eligibility and qualification rules for each edition. The current wait does not imply that a completed tournament can still be won.
