Despite being deprived of play-offs for the qualification to the 2014 World Cup, Mali remains active in international football. The Eagles have scheduled a friendly match against South Korea on October 15, as announced by the Malian Football Federation. This fixture provides Mali with an opportunity to showcase its football prowess and stay engaged on the international stage.
It’s worth noting that Mali had previously played a friendly match against Guatemala in August, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining competitive momentum even in the absence of World Cup qualifiers. These friendly matches serve as valuable opportunities for team development and preparation for future competitions.
