2026 World Cup Qualifying Game of Palestine Postponed: Algerian Football Association Steps In

Due to the current war in the Middle East, the Palestinian national team’s qualifying game for the 2026 World Cup had to be postponed.

Due to the currently extremely tense situation, hosting any sporting events in the areas of Palestine is unthinkable.

That is why the Algerian Football Association has now announced that the next home games of the Palestinian national football team will take place on Algerian soil.

Wish of Palestine followed

The Palestinians and the Asian Confederation recently communicated this wish to FIFA.

Algeria supported this and is therefore also covering the costs incurred.

Palestine’s first international match will take place in Algeria against Australia on November 21st. Where exactly the game will be played is still up for debate.
