Deprived of the 2022 World Cup, the Fennecs enter the 2024 African Cup of Nations this Monday, against Angola. In Ivory Coast, Riyad Mahrez’s partners will try to get their hands back on an African Cup of Nations won for the last time in 2019. To do so, Algerian coach Djamel Belamdi can count on a backbone of experienced internationals .
In addition to Mahrez, Feghouli, Slimani, Mandi, and company, several elements have strengthened the selection in recent months. In sight with Frankfurt this season, the former Toulouse player Farès Chaibi is one of them. Former Lyon player Houssem Aouar will also be there.
For its first match, Algeria will face Angola, an a priori affordable opponent but one that the Fennecs will have to respect so as not to experience, like Ghana against Cape Verde, an initial disillusionment.
Algeria-Angola kicks off this Monday, January 15 at 9 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on BeIN Sports 1.
