Mali national football team invited 30 players in preparation for the team’s training camp and to hold two friendly matches against Ghana and Iran.
The Mali Football Federation (FEMAFOOT) has announced the Les Aigles will play two friendly matches next month. Mali team has been inactive since November 2019 when they faced Guinea and Chad in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
And as part of preparations for the matches against Namibia, Mali will now face Ghana on October 9 in Turkey before facing Iran three days later in Ankara.
Team Melli will meet Uzbekistan in its first friendly match in Tashkent on Thursday, October 8, and then will leave for Turkey to meet the Mali national football team on October 13. Adama Traore, a 24-year-old player who has also played for the Spanish Under-21 team, has not yet played for the national team and has been called up to the Mali national football team for a friendly against Ghana and Iran.
This player is going to choose Mali as his national team. Traore was also called up by Luis Enrique to the Spanish national football team for two games in the League of Nations, but at that time his corona test was positive. Former Mali striker Conte has been sent to persuade him to play for the team. Last season, he was one of the best players in the English Premier League, who dazzled the crowds mostly due to his acceleration, dribbling ability, and physical strength.
He is not the only star who was invited to the Mali national football team for these two matches. Abdullah Ducoure, who plays for Everton under Ancelotti this season and has played for France’s Under-21 side, along with Moosa Marga of Porto (Mehdi Taremi’s teammate) and Southampton’s Musa Dinpo, are players who have been invited to the strong Mali national football team.
