He said that the Nashama's group is good compared to the difficult second groups and includes three different football schools from South America (Argentina) and Europe (Austria) and Africa (Algeria), and this is an opportunity for our players to showcase their capabilities and the most beautiful thing is facing the Argentina team, the champion of the last World Cup and Messi, stressing the need for good preparation to appear in a manner befitting the national team that enjoys support at the highest levels.
