About Algeria

Snapshot of Algeria's 2026 squad and outlook.

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.
