The Algerian Football Federation has begun negotiations with its English counterpart for the purpose of programming a friendly confrontation against the Three Lions national team next June, according to what was reported by “Plant Super” newspaper.
FAF officials are racing against time to adjust the Greens’ preparation program in anticipation of participation in the 2026 World Cup finals, scheduled to be held in the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada next summer.
The same source stated that the Algerian Federation recently agreed with the Italian Federation to hold a friendly match, but this agreement was linked to the condition that coach Gennaro Gattuso’s squad qualify for the World Cup.
The Italians have not yet guaranteed their presence in the World Cup, as the European play-off matches await them in March.
The national team, under the leadership of coach Vladimir Petkovic, will camp at the University of Kansas team’s headquarters, “Rock Schalk Park,” during the World Cup.
The technical staff wants to test its players against first-level teams, in preparation for the strong clash in its opening match against defending champion Argentina.
Captain Riyad Mahrez’s teammates will face the Uruguay national team next March 31, at Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy.
The Uruguayan national team’s playing style is similar to its Argentinian neighbor, which allows coach Petkovic to prepare his team well for the upcoming date.
Moreover, the Algerian Federation has decided the identity of its second competitor in the Joan camp that precedes the start of the World Cup.
The newspaper “Plantsport” reported that the national team will face the Netherlands in a friendly test in preparation for the match against Austria, the European rival of the Greens in the tenth group that includes an Arab team, Jordan.
