About This Match
Algeria face Austria in the Group Stage of Group J on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Algeria are ranked #28 in the world and managed by Vladimir Petković; Austria sit at #20 under Ralf Rangnick. The match kicks off at 22:00 local time at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Algeria
Algeria bring one of Africa's most technically gifted squads to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, led by the magical Riyad Mahrez - the former Manchester City and Saudi Pro League winger who is Africa's most decorated individual talent. Under Swiss coach Vladimir Petković, the Desert Foxes play attractive, possession-based football that reflects the French influence in Algerian football culture. Group J against defending champions Argentina, Austria, and Jordan is daunting at the top but presents a realistic opportunity for Algeria to earn second place. The 2014 squad's run to the round of 16 - where they pushed eventual champions Germany hard before losing in extra time - remains Algeria's finest World Cup hour.
Read Algeria preview →Austria
Austria's return to the World Cup in 2026 ends a 28-year absence since France 1998 and represents the fruition of Ralf Rangnick's high-energy, pressing-based rebuild of Austrian football. Under the innovative German coach, Austria have transformed into one of Europe's most dynamic sides, playing fast, aggressive football that has made them genuinely difficult to play against. David Alaba - despite serious injury concerns - and the relentless Marcel Sabitzer provide quality and leadership in a balanced squad. Group J pits Austria against defending champions Argentina, Algeria, and Jordan - a group where they must beat the two African and Asian representatives to advance for the first time since 1998.
