Algeria’s 2017 AFCON qualifiers have placed them in Group J, alongside Ethiopia, Seychelles, and Lesotho. While the Fennecs are no strangers to Ethiopia, having faced them in the 2015 AFCON qualifiers, they are less familiar with Seychelles and Lesotho. To bridge this gap, Christian Gourcuff and his staff have decided to scout these two teams during the upcoming COSAFA Cup in South Africa.
The COSAFA Cup, which kicks off in mid-May, will provide Gourcuff with a valuable opportunity to observe how Seychelles and Lesotho approach their games, helping him devise strategies for the upcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. This proactive move underscores Algeria’s commitment to understanding their competition fully, ensuring they are well-prepared for all the challenges that lie ahead in Group J.
