The Algerian Football Federation has received special permission from FIFA to extend the deadline for the conclusion of the professional national championship until May 24, 2014. This extension was granted due to the presidential election causing a temporary halt in the championship.
FIFA’s authorization allows for the resumption of the championship and provides clarity on the new end date. However, there is a stipulation that international players selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil will not be permitted to participate in the last day of the championship.
This decision ensures that the Algerian championship can proceed smoothly despite the temporary disruption caused by the presidential election, while also respecting the commitments of players selected for international duty.
