Tunisia, Mali, Mauritius, and Djibouti set for international friendly matches

Tunisia and Mali are scheduled to play an international friendly on October 2, 2026. Tunisia enters the match seeking a recovery following a 2-2 draw against Botswana in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Mali arrives following a 1-0 victory over Liberia in the same qualifying tournament, placing them at the top of Group K.

In a separate fixture, Mauritius will host Djibouti in a friendly match as part of the Tri-Nations Cup, which also includes Sri Lanka. Both nations are looking to gain competitive match experience after failing to qualify for recent Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. Mauritius currently holds a FIFA ranking of 178, while Djibouti is ranked 196th.
