Algerian women’s national team coach, Farid Benstiti is looking forward to the upcoming friendly matches against Nigeria, which he sees as a valuable experience for his team.

He praised the Super Falcons as one of the top teams globally, even placing them among the world’s top 15.

“We are very happy to play against Nigeria because it’s one of the best teams in the world. Maybe if you have 15 teams in the world, you can put Nigeria in this group.”
