Is Cameroon vs Algeria on TV? Channel, live stream free, kick-off time and team news for World Cup play-off
RIYAD MAHREZ and Algeria are looking to make a return to the World Cup as they face Cameroon over two legs.
The Fennec Foxes have been an enigma in recent years as they missed out on the 2018 World Cup, but then won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 and the Fifa Arab Cup in December.
However they followed these triumphs up with a wretched Afcon last month in which they came bottom of a group containing Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea.
2017 Afcon champions Cameroon also failed to qualify for the last World Cup and will be looking to put things right this time around.
The Indomitable Lions were hosts of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, in which they reached the semi-final before being knocked out on penalties by Egypt and Mo Salah.
But their preparations for this match have been rocked by goalkeeper Andre Onana being involved in a car crash.
What time does Cameroon vs Algeria kick off?
- Cameroon host Algeria on Friday, March 25.
- The match kicks off at 5pm UK time – 6pm in both Cameroon and Algeria.
- It takes place at the Japoma Stadium, Douala.
- The sides last met in 2017 when Cameroon picked up a 2-0 win in World Cup qualifying.
What TV channel is Cameroon vs Algeria on and can I live stream it free?
Cameroon vs Algeria is not on UK television.
But fear not, you can watch all the action legally via free streaming service Mola TV.
