The Madagascar women's national football team is the FIFA recognised senior women's A team for Madagascar. The team played their first FIFA matches in 2015. They were runner-up to Réunion in the 2015 Indian Ocean Island Games. They have competed in the COSAFA Women's Championship, in which they won a game against Comoros in 2019.
History
In 2005, Zambia was supposed to host the regional COSAFA Women's Championship, with ten countries agreeing to send teams, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland. The tournament ultimately did not take place. In 2006, there was a FIFA-recognized Malagasy senior A team that held two training sessions a week, though they had not played a single game between 2000 and 2006. A FIFA-recognized Malagasy senior A team existed in 2009.
In 2015 and 2016, the team played several matches, of which four were recognized by FIFA. Two of those were 4–0 wins against Comoros. The other games were in the Indian Ocean Games, where they were runner-up to Réunion. They made the final by winning a game against Mauritius. The team entered the COSAFA Women's Championship three years in a row from 2017 to 2019. After losing all three games in the group stage in 2017, they drew one game in 2018 against Botswana and won one game in 2019 against Comoros.
