Algeria and Spain in Talks Over Potential Friendly
The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has opened discussions with Spain over the possibility of a friendly match between Algeria and Spain in 2026. The talks took place on the sidelines of the 75th FIFA Congress, held in Asunción, Paraguay, where FAF President Walid Sadi met with Rafael Louzán Abal, President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). According to a statement released by the FAF, the two officials explored avenues of cooperation, including development projects across youth football, futsal, and the women's game. However, the proposal to organise a senior international friendly has drawn the most attention. The fixture, if confirmed, would form part of Algeria's preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, should they qualify. Spain, world champions in 2010 and recent winners of UEFA Euro 2024, would provide high-level opposition for the North African side. The match would be a rare meeting between the two nations, who last faced each other at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, where Spain won 3-0. Algeria, now under Vladimir Petković's guidance, aims to return to the global stage after missing out on the 2022 edition in Qatar. The FAF has signalled its intent to arrange top-tier friendlies in the lead-up to the 2026 tournament. While the fixture remains in the early stages of planning, both federations have expressed interest. No venue or date has been finalised, and logistical discussions are expected in the coming months. A match on Algerian soil is reportedly being considered, though a neutral venue or staging the game in Spain has not been ruled out. Tags: AlgeriaFIFA World CupSpain

Food Allergy Fund Launches PSA to Empower Kids and Raise Awareness for Food Allergies
Culinary Social Media Sensation Tiny Chef and Content Creator Merrick Hanna in Multiplatform PSA Launching on Nickelodeon During Food Allergy Awareness Month NEW YORK, April 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Food Allergy Fund (FAF) is launching an engaging new Public Service Announcement (PSA) to empower kids and raise awareness about food allergies during Food Allergy Awareness Month this May. The PSA will debut across Nickelodeon's platforms from May 1-31, and features Emmy Award-winning culinary social media sensation Tiny Chef (The Tiny Chef Show, produced by Imagine Entertainment and Nickelodeon Animation) alongside content creator Merrick Hanna, who has food allergies. This fast-growing disease affects 1 in 13 children and 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. "As founder and CEO of FAF, and a food allergy parent, I'm grateful to Nickelodeon for their creativity and support in spotlighting this growing public health crisis," said Ilana Golant. "Food allergies affect 10 percent of Americans, and every three minutes, someone visits the ER due to an allergic reaction. Food allergies are not a lifestyle choice—they are a serious chronic health condition. Through awareness and simple actions, we can ensure kids with food allergies feel safe, included, and protected." Merrick Hanna, known for his viral dance videos, shares in the PSA, "I love to dance, but I also love to cook. The reason I cook is because I have serious food allergies. I have to be careful because every single bite counts. The truth is food allergies affect more people than you might realize—there are usually two kids in a classroom with food allergies." The PSA was unveiled today during the Food Allergy Fund's Annual Summit, an event bringing together scientists, innovators, policymakers, and advocates to advance food allergy research and explore new ways to make living with food allergies easier. The event underscores the progress made in food allergy science over the past decade and the growing momentum to improve prevention, treatments and ultimately find a cure.
