The friendly match between Algeria and Brazil, initially planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the creation of the FAF (Algerian Football Federation), has been canceled due to the inability to reach an agreement. Instead, Bosnia will be the opponent for the Fennecs on November 14 in Algiers, facilitated by the Bosnian coach of the Algerian team, Vahid Halilhodzic.
The decision to face Bosnia is seen as a strategic move, providing a good test for Algeria as they prepare for a possible qualification for the CAN. Ranked 30th in FIFA rankings, just two places behind Algeria, Bosnia boasts talented players like Edin Dzeko from Manchester City and Miralem Pjanic from Roma.
In the meantime, Algeria is focused on securing qualification for the next continental game, with a crucial match against Libya on October 14 in Blida. In the first leg, the Greens secured a 1-0 victory against the Knights of the Mediterranean.
