2024 FIFA Series
The 2024 FIFA Series was the inaugural edition of the FIFA Series, an invitational association football tournament promoted by FIFA that features friendly matches between men's national teams from different continental confederations. The inaugural edition featured six different series that took place across five host countries from 21 to 26 March 2024.
The friendly tournament was first announced as a FIFA initiative in December 2022 under the name "FIFA World Series", and later confirmed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino on 16 March 2023 following his re-election to the post during the 73rd FIFA Congress in Kigali, Rwanda. The competition will bring together men's national teams from its six confederations in a series of friendly tournaments during the FIFA match window in March of every even-numbered year. The tournament is intended to provide FIFA's member associations with "key playing opportunities" by allowing them to more regularly play teams from other confederations which they would otherwise not face, allowing for greater technical development opportunities. It is also intended to provide member associations with additional commercial opportunities and exposure.
The 2024 edition acted as a pilot phase for the tournament. In each series apart from Egypt (which was a late addition), all inter-confederation fixtures were the first international meeting between the sides.
The following teams participated in the 2024 event.
The series were organized as international friendlies. Only the Egypt series featured a knockout format, with winners determined by a penalty shoot-out following a tie.
All times are local. Each team's confederation is indicated in brackets.
The FIFA Series: Algeria took place in Annaba and Algiers from 21 to 26 March 2024, and involved the hosts Algeria (CAF), Andorra (UEFA), Bolivia (CONMEBOL) and South Africa (CAF). Andorra entered the series as a replacement for Albania, which had originally been invited but preferred to play friendlies in Europe, considering them better preparation ahead of UEFA Euro 2024.
Initially, the tournament was expected to be played in a different format, with semi-finals to be played in Oran and Annaba and the finals to be played in Algiers.
