World Cup Qualifier: Algeria vs Djibouti Match Moved to Egypt from Morocco

Scheduled to be held in Morocco, the Djibouti-Algeria match has finally been relocated to Egypt. Djamel Belmadi, the coach of the Algerian national team, welcomes the news and hopes that Egypt will bring luck.

As part of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Algeria faces Djibouti in a match that observers think will be an easy win, as the Greens have crushed the Djiboutian team in the first leg match, with a clear score of (8-0). The match will be played in Egypt, although it was supposed to be held in Morocco.

When questioned about this last-minute relocation, Djamel Belmadi welcomed this news, stating that he is "very happy to go and play in Egypt". The match against Burkina Faso in Morocco was not what the coach expected. The Greens had delivered one of their worst performances since Belmadi’s arrival. "We only have good memories in Egypt. We will go there with a lot of pleasure, and a lot of seriousness. The most important thing for us is to win the three points," he said.

Algeria is at the top of Group A, tied on points with Burkina Faso, after beating Niger (4-0) on Tuesday, October 12. But the Fennecs have a better goal difference. If they manage to win against Djibouti for the 5th round of the qualifiers, they will be able to have a significant advantage.
