In support of Gaza, Algeria no longer plays

The Algerian Football Federation announced that it would suspend all football matches in support of the Palestinian cause.

Algeria is clearly taking a position. After responding favorably to the request for asylum from the Palestinian football team, which will play its next matches on Algerian soil until further notice, as long as the conflict with Israel continues, the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) ) is making a strong announcement this Wednesday.

In an official press release relayed by Agence France Presse, the FAF indicates today to suspend “ all football competitions and matches, until further notice “. An announcement made the day after the dramatic strike which blew up a hospital in Gaza, causing hundreds of Palestinian victims. This measure concerns both matches of the Algerian selection and matches of the Algerian championship.

Unwavering support

On Sunday, Algeria had already shown its support for Palestine, by welcoming “ all official and unofficial matches as part of the preparation of the Palestinian football team for the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and the 2027 Asian Cup of Nations and to cover all costs related to these events . »
