The Algerian national team is carving a bold path through the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, dreaming of securing a spot in the tournament set to dazzle the world next year.
The Desert Warriors, hungry for their fifth World Cup appearance, are thriving under a revamped qualifying format that boosts the global lineup to 48 teams. Drawn into Group G with Mozambique, Botswana, Guinea, Uganda, and Somalia, Algeria has already shown grit and flair in their campaign.
Kicking off against Somalia in November 2023, the team’s journey will wrap up against Uganda in October 2025. So far, they’ve notched wins like the 3-1 thrashing of Somalia at Nelson Mandela Stadium and a 2-1 nail-biter against Guinea.
Tough losses, including a 2-0 stumble in Mozambique, have only fueled their fire. With upcoming clashes against Botswana and Mozambique this month, the Desert Warriors are poised to strike. Fans can catch every pulse-pounding moment on channels broadcasting the qualifiers, as Algeria battles to cement its legacy on the world stage.
