International friendly matches are soccer games played between national teams that are not part of a tournament or qualification process. These matches allow teams to practice, test new players, and improve their strategies without the pressure of competition. They are often scheduled during international breaks and can take place anywhere in the world.
These games are important for building team chemistry and gaining experience. Coaches use friendly matches to evaluate player performance and make decisions for future competitions. While the results do not affect rankings, they provide valuable opportunities for teams to prepare for upcoming FIFA World Cup or continental championships.
