The Algerian Federation (FAF) will suspend “all football competitions until further notice” in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The association announced this on the short message service X, formerly Twitter. Algeria, which has traditionally been sympathetic to Palestine, had already announced on Sunday that it was ready to host games as part of the Palestinian national team’s preparation for the 2026 World Cup and the 2027 Asian Nations Cup and to cover all costs related to these events .
As a result, the match between Palestine and Australia scheduled for November 21, which is part of qualification for the 2026 World Cup, could take place on Algerian soil. The Palestinians’ opening game in World Cup qualifying is scheduled for November 16 in Lebanon. Given the difficult situation, it is uncertain whether the games will actually take place. Palestine is currently ranked 97th in the FIFA World Association rankings.
