Algeria, like Tunisia, will enter the upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations donning a brand-new jersey, signaling a fresh look for the Fennecs ahead of the tournament in Egypt. The new kit was officially unveiled this week by Smaïl Bouabdellah, a BeIn Sports journalist and ambassador for the Algerian national team, in a presentation that has already generated excitement among fans and players alike.
Manufactured by global sportswear giant Adidas, the jersey combines traditional Algerian elements with modern design features, creating a uniform that pays homage to the team’s rich history while reflecting contemporary trends in football apparel. The kit is expected to be worn during all of Algeria’s matches in the 2019 AFCON, adding a new visual identity to a team that has consistently been a force in African football.
Bouabdellah, who serves as an ambassador for the national team, expressed his pride and gratitude in unveiling the new design. “I am very honored to have been chosen as an ambassador for the Algerian national team and to present the new jersey for the 2019 AFCON today. Thank you to the FAF, S2F, and Adidas football for their trust. May this jersey bring happiness and total enjoyment,” he wrote on his official Twitter account. His message reflects the enthusiasm surrounding the launch and the symbolic value of the kit, which represents both national pride and sporting ambition.
The unveiling of the new jersey is part of a broader trend across Africa, with national teams updating their kits ahead of major tournaments. Tunisia, for example, has already revealed its own new design for the 2019 AFCON, setting a standard that other teams, including Algeria, are following. For fans, the release of the new kit is more than just a visual update—it symbolizes preparation, unity, and the hope of strong performances on the continental stage.
Algeria’s 2019 AFCON campaign will see the Fennecs aiming to build on their strong performances in recent years. The team, known for its skilled midfield and dynamic attacking play, will enter the tournament with high expectations from supporters eager to see the green-and-white kit in action. The Adidas jersey is designed to complement the players’ style of play, combining comfort, breathability, and flexibility to meet the demands of high-intensity matches.
In addition to its practical aspects, the new jersey serves as a unifying symbol for Algerian football fans. Wearing the national colors, supporters will be able to show their pride and rally behind the team during every match. The presentation, led by Bouabdellah, reinforces the connection between the national squad, its ambassadors, and the wider football community.
With the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations just around the corner, Algeria’s new kit promises to be a source of pride, excitement, and inspiration for players and fans alike, combining tradition, modernity, and the hope of continental success.
