The Algerian national football team, commonly known as the “Desert Warriors” or “Les Fennecs,” is on the verge of a considerable drop in the FIFA world rankings, owing to the outcomes of their last three matches in the ongoing 2024 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
With two draws and a loss, the team’s performance might prove costly, pushing them down in the monthly FIFA rankings set to be released immediately after the conclusion of the AFCON.
The recent failure to secure victories in this continental competition could result in Algeria losing valuable points in favor of other national teams.
The potential drop in the rankings is particularly significant for teams closely positioned to Algeria in the current standings.
The Desert Warriors face the risk of losing approximately 50 points due to their underwhelming performance in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
The FIFA rankings play a crucial role in determining the positioning of national teams globally, considering their recent performance in international competitions.
A decline in the rankings could impact Algeria’s standing and reputation in the world of football.
Despite the challenges faced in the AFCON, the Algerian national team is well aware of the consequences of falling short in a continental tournament of such magnitude.
The players and coaching staff are undoubtedly eager to rectify their course and strive for improved results in the remaining matches of the competition.
