Already securing qualification for CAN 2023, Algeria is set to compete in the fifth day of the CAN 2023 qualifiers against Uganda. Scheduled for June 18th, the Fennecs, under the guidance of coach Djamel Belmadi, have assembled a squad of 26 players for the encounter.
A notable inclusion in the roster is Houssem Aouar, the midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais. Despite enduring a challenging season, Aouar, who has opted to represent his country of origin, receives his first call-up to the national team. Additionally, Victor Lekhal marks his return to the Fennecs squad.
It’s worth mentioning that aside from the match against Uganda, Algeria will engage in a friendly fixture against Tunisia just two days later, further emphasizing their commitment to preparation and competitive readiness ahead of major tournaments.
