Cosafa Cup: Madagascar ready to build momentum against Eswatini, schedule for June 9

On Monday, June 9, 2025, the Cosafa Cup continues in South Africa with two matches on the schedule. Madagascar faces Eswatini, while Comoros take on Botswana at the Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein for the second matchday in Group C of the tournament.

Madagascar aims to confirm their form

Madagascar kicks off the day with a crucial clash against Eswatini at 1:00 p.m. GMT at Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium. After a solid 1-0 win over Tanzania in their opener, the Barea sit atop Group C and can take a big step toward the semifinals with a second straight victory. Eswatini, on the other hand, are making their tournament debut and will be looking to avoid a rocky start against a side already in full swing.

Botswana join the fray against Comoros

At 4:00 p.m. GMT, again in Bloemfontein, Botswana will play their first match of the 2025 Cosafa Cup against Comoros. After defeating Zambia 1-0 on the opening day, the Coelacanths lead Group D and are targeting another win over Botswana to secure their ticket to the semifinals.
