The Friendly matches are basically matches which is not played on basis of tournament and are played on friendly terms..However,international matches are usually played in friendly terms and club matches played pre season are usually friendlies.
An exhibition game (also known as a friendly, a scrimmage, a demonstration, a preseason game, a warmup match, or a preparation match, depending at least in part on the sport) is a sporting event whose prize money and impact on the player's or the team's rankings is either zero or otherwise greatly reduced.

That’s how it has always been. Like since inception, cricket
has been perceived as more appealing than other sports. And with personalities
like that of Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Azhar, Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Dhoni
and more, its popularity only spiked high.
As far the other sports are concerned, in recent times, they
did have climbed up in the spotlight. Like football, MMA, tennis and even
badminton boasts a massive following today. Nothing, however, comparable to
cricket.
Media always focus more on cricket. Sponsors always put more
money in cricket matches. So people get to hear, see more of cricket. And since
more people are watching this sport, more sponsors and media will invest in and
talk about it. It’s like a cycle.
But it’s not bad. We shouldn’t be complaining about it. Like
in Brazil, Soccer is more popular; in USA, Football (rugby) is at the top;
people in Canada obsess Ice Hockey. Every country leans toward particular sport.
Global friendlies are commonly held amid the association season at pre-chosen universal breaks. There are no club installations planned at such occasions. Universal well disposed match-ups are chosen/affirmed by FIFA. These give the national group mentors to try different things with group choice and strategies, and furthermore enable them to evaluate the capacities of players they may conceivably choose for the competition squad.
International friendlies are generally held during the league season at pre-decided international breaks. There are no club fixtures scheduled at such times. International friendly match-ups are decided/approved by FIFA. These provide the national team coaches to experiment with team selection and tactics, and also allow them to assess the abilities of players they may potentially select for the tournament squad.
