Africa Cup of Nations
The Africa Cup of Nations is the pinnacle of African football and Algeria are two-time champions, having lifted the trophy in 1990 and 2019. At the most recent AFCON 2025 in Morocco, Algeria topped their group with three wins from three before reaching the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Nigeria. Les Fennecs will be looking to reclaim the title at the next edition and continue their strong AFCON pedigree.
International Friendlies
Algeria regularly play international friendlies as part of their preparation for major tournaments. These matches offer fans an accessible way to see Les Fennecs in action and often serve as a showcase for emerging talent.

Algeria's football story is deeply intertwined with the nation's history. The FLN football team, formed in 1958 during the Algerian War of Independence, used football as a tool for international recognition — a powerful origin story that remains central to Algerian football identity. Since joining the international football community in 1964, Algeria have established themselves as one of Africa's most respected football nations, renowned for their technical ability and passionate fan base.
Under Vladimir Petković, who took charge in February 2024, Algeria have found renewed stability and tactical structure. The experienced coach — who previously led Switzerland to a Euro 2020 quarter-final and a 2018 World Cup Round of 16 — has successfully guided Algeria to World Cup qualification and a strong AFCON 2025 campaign, bringing a European tactical discipline to complement the squad's natural flair.
Key Algeria Players
Riyad Mahrez — Captain & Talisman
Algeria's captain and most recognisable star, Riyad Mahrez is the heartbeat of the national team. A Premier League champion with Manchester City and Champions League winner, Mahrez brings elite-level experience and creativity. He is Algeria's all-time top scorer at the AFCON with nine goals and played a central role in the 2019 AFCON triumph. Now in his mid-30s, the 2026 World Cup could be his crowning international moment.
Mohamed Amoura — Goal Machine
The young striker announced himself as a major talent during World Cup qualifying, scoring ten goals in the campaign to become Algeria's top scorer. His explosive pace, intelligent movement and clinical finishing make him the spearhead of Algeria's attack and one of the most exciting young forwards in African football.
Ramy Bensebaini — Defensive Leader
The Borussia Dortmund defender is a vital figure in Algeria's backline, combining defensive solidity with an ability to drive forward and contribute in attack. His experience in the Champions League and Bundesliga at the highest level gives Algeria a world-class presence at the back.
The Next Generation
Algeria's squad is enriched by a remarkable generation of dual-nationality talent, many developed in top European academies. Players like Ibrahim Maza (Bayer Leverkusen), Amine Gouiri and Rayan Aït-Nouri represent the exciting next wave of Algerian football, ensuring the national team will remain competitive for years to come. The depth of talent available to Petković gives Algeria genuine options across every position.

Algeria's greatest World Cup moment remains their stunning 2-1 victory over West Germany in the 1982 World Cup in Spain — a result that sent shockwaves through football and remains one of the tournament's most celebrated upsets. That match is also remembered for the subsequent "Disgrace of Gijón," when West Germany and Austria played out a mutually beneficial result to eliminate Algeria despite their superior performance.
More recently, Algeria's 2014 World Cup campaign saw them reach the Round of 16 for the first time, pushing eventual champions Germany to extra time before falling 2-1. And in 2019, Djamel Belmadi led Algeria to their second AFCON title — an unbeaten run through the tournament that united the nation in celebration. Under Petković, the ambition is to build on this legacy at the 2026 World Cup. For the full breakdown of Algeria's World Cup record and 2026 campaign, visit our Algeria World Cup 2026 tickets page.
