As part of their build-up for upcoming competitions, kicking off with the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, set for December 21 to January 18, numerous African national teams are looking to bolster their squads and strengthen team cohesion.

These friendly matches also serve the dual purpose of chasing victory while fine-tuning preparations ahead of the continent’s premier tournament.

Among the standout fixtures, and three years after their last meeting in France, Brazil—known as the “Seleção”—will once again face Tunisia this month at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium in Lille.

For their part, Algeria will launch their preparations with a clash against Zimbabwe on November 13, before taking on Saudi Arabia, led by Hervé Renard, on November 18.

Elsewhere, Angola—world champions in 2022—will welcome Argentina to Luanda on November 14.
