According to the same source, the national team for this age group finished its preparatory training at the National Technical Center in Sidi Moussa (Algiers) yesterday, Wednesday, which included a friendly match with Akaber Nejm Ben Aknoun (win 2-1).
This match allowed “to repeat the plans set by the national coach, Noureddine Ould Ali, who focused on several aspects, most notably the attack,” according to the FAF statement.
The national coach also confirmed in a statement to the FAF’s website that “This helps us in preparing for the upcoming tournaments, most notably the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.”
