Algeria A’ step up training ahead of Egypt clash in Cairo

The Algeria A’ national team has intensified preparations in Cairo ahead of their upcoming friendly encounter against Egypt, scheduled for Matchday 2.

Under the direction of head coach Madjid Bougherra, the squad is focusing on final tactical adjustments as they look to build cohesion and momentum.

Training sessions over the past few days have been marked by a strong emphasis on organization, fitness, and team chemistry.

Bougherra, known for his meticulous approach, has been leading high-intensity drills aimed at refining both defensive structure and attacking transitions.

“The players are showing great commitment and determination, a team official said. The coach wants them to understand the importance of discipline and tactical awareness, especially in away matches like this.”

The camp in Cairo is seen as an important step in Algeria’s long-term plan to strengthen their home-based squad, composed mainly of players from the domestic league.

These matches provide valuable experience and exposure to international-level competition, helping the team develop depth and consistency.

Bougherra has reportedly used the sessions to test various formations and combinations, giving opportunities to younger players while ensuring experienced figures provide leadership on and off the pitch.

Observers at the training ground noted a strong sense of unity and focus among the group, with players pushing themselves to impress ahead of the high-profile meeting with Egypt.

The match, though friendly, carries significant weight for both sides, as it allows coaches to assess their options and evaluate performance levels before future regional competitions.

For Algeria A’, it is also a chance to maintain their growing reputation as one of North Africa’s most technically disciplined teams.

In addition to tactical drills, the coaching staff has focused on recovery and conditioning to keep the players in peak shape after several intense sessions.

The atmosphere around the team camp has been described as positive, with players eager to translate their hard work on the training ground into results on the field.

The Greens are expected to hold one final training session before the game to finalize their strategy and set-piece routines.

Bougherra’s men will look to make a strong statement in Cairo as they continue their mission to enhance the competitiveness of Algeria’s local-based national setup.
