The Algerian national team will play the football World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso in the Moroccan city of Marrakech as scheduled.
There were speculations the fixture would be moved to a different venue after Algeria severed ties with Morocco following a diplomatic fallout, built up over years of strained relations.
An Algerian football official confirmed in a video released on the football association website that the game would go ahead as scheduled.
Amin Abdi said: “the Algerian football delegation has visited the facilities dedicated to host the Algerian national team in Marrakech and have been well received by their Moroccan counterparts”.
Marrakech was designated to host the game between Burkina Faso and Algerian on 7 September because Ouagadougou Stadium was suspended by the African Football Confederation.
