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 reached the AFCON quarter-finals on their 2019 debut, beating Nigeria in the group stage and eliminating DR Congo on penalties. The Barea's run was the island's first major-tournament appearance and its best result.
