National Team Preparations
These club performances arrive as the Algerian national team, under its new manager, prepares for its next camp. The Greens' last outing was on October 6, where they secured a valuable 2-1 win over Niger in World Cup qualifying. Koffi Ndri opened the scoring for Niger in the 12th minute, before Mohamed Belloumi equalised in the 53rd. Ramzy Bensebaini sealed the victory from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute. That result means Algeria's form in its last match reads one win, with no draws or losses. Focus now turns to preparing to host Togo at the Stade Olympique d'El Menzah in two weeks, a match that will serve as an important test before the resumption of official competitions.
