Mali aims for victory.
The ninth day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will see two teams looking for a win. Mali will play against Chad on Wednesday, October 8th, at 4 p.m.
Mali has missed the chance for direct qualification to the final tournament, and they are not considered the favorites. However, with Yves Bissouma and Aïdarra back, the Belgian coach will likely stick with Aliou Dieng and Kamory Doumbia.
