Amine Ghimouz names 22 players for Algeria U17 training camp

Amine Ghimouz has selected 22 players for Algeria’s upcoming under-17 training camp as preparations intensify for future competitions.

The camp will run from 25 February to 4 March 2026 and forms part of the technical staff’s wider strategy to evaluate the squad, strengthen cohesion and fine-tune collective play ahead of forthcoming events.

The gathering is designed to help lay the groundwork for a competitive and structured U17 side.

Ghimouz and his staff intend to use the session to closely assess individual performances while reinforcing teamwork within the group.

The focus will be on combining physical conditioning with tactical organisation and technical development, ensuring that players in this age category are exposed to a demanding and structured environment.

The objective is twofold: to expand the pool of available talent within the U17 national set-up and to gradually establish a core group capable of competing in continental campaigns in the years ahead.

The camp is also aligned with the broader policy of rejuvenating and organising Algeria’s youth national teams.

For many of the selected players, the training camp represents an opportunity to stake a claim for future call-ups.

Intensive sessions will offer them the chance to demonstrate their potential and adaptability under the supervision of the national coaching staff.

By bringing together emerging talents from across the country, the Algerian Football Federation aims to strengthen the foundations of its youth structure.

The camp is regarded as an important step in identifying prospects who could eventually progress to higher age categories and, in time, the senior national side.

With the dates confirmed and preparations underway, attention will now turn to how the squad responds during the week-long programme.

Observers will be watching closely to see which players stand out as the next generation of Algerian footballers begins to take shape.
