Maître Kira wore the Barea jersey for nearly two decades. He was a pillar of Club M, one of the most popular clubs in Madagascar.
His death plunges Malagasy football into mourning. The FMF paid tribute to the memory of an 'emblematic flag-bearer' who marked an entire generation.
Tributes have been pouring in since the announcement. Fans and former teammates remember an elegant and dedicated player, a true symbol of football in Madagascar.
