The possibility of a significant football event in Algeria is looming, with Didier Deschamps and the French national team contemplating a friendly match against the Algerian national team. The French team, securing a last-minute qualification for the Brazil 2014 World Cup by defeating Ukraine 3-0, is considering this friendly encounter.
The realization of this long-awaited meeting is contingent on the two teams not being drawn into the same group after the World Cup draw on December 6. Noël Le Graët, president of the French football federation (FFF), expressed his desire for this encounter, stating, “I always said that I would go to Algiers before the end of my mandate.”
For Algeria, which faced challenges in qualifying for the world championship with a 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso in Blida, this proposed friendly presents an excellent opportunity to assess the squad against a highly esteemed opponent.
FIFA’s composition of the pots reveals that Algeria, along with Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Nigeria, shares pot 2 with Chile and Ecuador. The potential friendly match between France and Algeria adds anticipation to the football landscape, fostering excitement and interest in the international football community.
