According to Al Heddaf, the Algerian FA have lined up a friendly against Ukraine on May 28. No location for the encounter has been announced as of yet. The match is meant to serve as preparation for the Fennecs’ World Cup opener versus Slovenia on June 13.

Meanwhile, the North Africans already have a friendly against Serbia on March 3 in Algiers and are reportedly looking to add others against Italy, and either Scotland or Ireland in the lead-up to the World Cup.
