Algeria returns to the World Cup in 2026 after a 12-year absence. Algeria won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 but failed to qualify for the World Cup both before and after that victory. The squad blends established veterans and emerging talents, with many players based in the Arab world. The Arab Cup and Africa Cup of Nations are upcoming assignments, with the Arab Cup featuring fewer high-profile names. Riyad Mahrez is a senior attacking leader, supported by younger players such as Badredine Bouanani and Amine Gouiri. Goalkeeper Luca Zidane and veteran Islam Slimani are included among the selected players. A November selection lists goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards across domestic and regional clubs.
