Algeria is preparing for a decisive World Cup qualification match against Jordan on June 22. This encounter follows a challenging 0-3 defeat against Argentina, marking Algeria's return to the tournament after a 12-year absence. The match is critical for securing a spot in the second round of the qualifiers. However, the fixture has been overshadowed by FIFA's choice of official. The governing body has appointed a referee who has already faced significant criticism. This decision has sparked concern ahead of the high-stakes game. The match will take place in the United States, airing early Tuesday morning in Algeria.
