On September 6, 2019, the South African Football Association (SAFA) made the decision to release players from camp, allowing them to return to their clubs.
The move came after the Madagascar team withdrew from a scheduled friendly match against Bafana Bafana at Orlando Stadium on September 7.
The cancellation of the match was a result of the withdrawal, leaving SAFA with no choice but to release the players.
