The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has suspended all its soccer matches amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group, Hamas.
The FAF announced on Wednesday the suspensions were a way of showing “solidarity” with Palestinians.
“The Algerian Football Federation, in accordance with the directives of the country’s high authorities and following the request made by the President of the Palestinian Football Federation, Mr. Jibril Rajoub, has decided to host in Algeria 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,” the statement released Sunday read.
