The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has announced that it has suspended all matches “until further notice” in support of the Palestinians.

“Expressing solidarity with the resilient, brotherly Palestinian people and out of respect for the memories of the venerable and glorious martyrs who fell victim to the savage Zionist aggressions in the Gaza Strip against the occupied Palestinian population, the FAF has decided to suspend all competitions and matches until further notice,” the federation said in a statement.
