I am interested about having a freindly game with the finalists of the 2022 Helsinki African Cup, that is Nigeria and Algeria.
My team, Flamingo United FC is a new team in Lahti and we are looking to test the waters and keep developing by playing top quality teams and we believe the Helsinki African cup finalists can match what we are looking for.
I have however been able to be in touch with the Nigerian team and we have scheduled a freindly game here in Lahti on 10.9. Could you help get contact information of the Algerian team? A phone number or WhatsApp number of the coach or team manager will do. Thanks!
