For the fourth time in its history, Algeria is seeking to secure a spot in the World Cup. The matchup between the Fennecs and the Etalons in Blida remains highly uncertain. With a narrow victory (3-2), the Stallions have a slim margin. Energized by their home crowd, the Fennecs aim to overcome this deficit and secure a second consecutive qualification for the World Cup.
In the hours leading up to this crucial match, the entire country is in anticipation, and the rush to the Mustapha Tchaker stadium has already commenced. Upon the opening of the stadium doors in Blida, 18 Green supporters were injured in a stampede, including a woman. Two seriously injured individuals were reportedly transferred to the nearest hospital, as reported by lebuteur.com.
Blida is expected to witness a significant turnout, both inside and outside the Mustapha Tchaker stadium. Ticket sales on Saturday led to clashes among supporters, resulting in over 50 injuries due to stampedes as fans braved rain and cold weather. The Blida stadium served as the sole point of sale for tickets.
