Algeria’s Petkovic to address media ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers

Algeria's Petkovic to address media ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers

Algeria head coach Vladimir Petkovic will hold a press conference on Monday, March 17, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. local time in the “Mohamed Sellah” Conference Room at Nelson Mandela Stadium in Baraki.

The media briefing, initially set for Sunday evening, was rescheduled by the Algerian Football Federation (FAF).

The press conference comes just five days before Algeria’s important away fixture against Botswana on March 21 in Francistown, followed by a home clash against Mozambique in Tizi-Ouzou on March 25.

Both matches form part of the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Algeria is looking to strengthen its position in the group standings.

Squad Announcement and Tactical Plans

During the press conference, Petkovic is expected to reveal his squad selection for the two encounters and discuss the team’s preparations.

The Bosnian tactician will likely address key decisions regarding player inclusions, injuries, and tactical approaches as the Desert Foxes aim to maintain their strong start to the qualifying campaign.

With Algeria currently leading their group, Petkovic will emphasize the importance of securing maximum points in these upcoming fixtures.

The trip to Botswana presents a challenging test, with the opposition known for their resilience at home. Meanwhile, the return match against Mozambique in Tizi-Ouzou is set to be played in a highly charged atmosphere, with Algerian fans eager to see their side take a step closer to World Cup qualification.

High Stakes for Algeria’s Qualification Hopes

Algeria’s road to the 2026 World Cup remains firmly on track, but every match in the qualifiers carries significant weight.

A strong performance in these two fixtures would provide a major boost to their campaign and reinforce their ambitions of securing a place in the tournament.

With anticipation building, all eyes will be on Petkovic’s squad announcement and his insights into Algeria’s strategy for these pivotal matches.
