Algeria will face Sweden in an international friendly match in June 2025 as part of their preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Following an impressive start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, the Fennecs are looking to build momentum ahead of the continental tournament in Morocco.
Riyad Mahrez and his teammates currently top their qualification group with 15 points, having secured a commanding 5-1 victory over Mozambique in their most recent fixture.
The friendly against Sweden, set to take place in Stockholm, marks another key step in Algeria’s revival under coach Vladimir Petković.
The team has been on a resurgence after a disappointing AFCON 2023 campaign in Ivory Coast, and the Algerian Football Federation, led by Walid Sadi, has confirmed the fixture as part of their strategic preparations.
With Algeria aiming to reclaim continental glory, the clash with Sweden will serve as a valuable test against European opposition.
