The Sudanese government is looking forward to organize a friendly between Egypt and Algeria in an attempt to reconcile the relationship between the two countries after ties were fractured during the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Mohamed Ali Abdul-Halim, a top aide of the governor of Khartoum revealed these plans.
"We are in talks with Egypt and Algeria to host a friendly game in Sudan," Abdul-Halim told a press conference in Cairo on Thursday.
"The talks are in preliminary stages. Hopefully, the game can be played as soon as possible.
"Sudanese president Omar Hassan Al-Bashir has tackled the issue during a recent visit to Algeria," he added.
Diplomatic relations between Egypt and Algeria were at stake for the past five months as media from both countries exchanged accusations of off-the-field violence during their two games in the World Cup qualifiers.
