Captain Riyad Mahrez will take his selection to Morocco. This Saturday, Vladimir Petkovic unveiled a list of 28 players summoned for CAN 2025 in Morocco with the Fennecs. The former Manchester City player will be well supported in attack, with Mohammed Amoura, Anis Hadj Moussa, but also Ilan Kebbal, the Paris FC attacking midfielder.
Another player from the capital club will be on the trip: full-back Samir Chergui, particularly popular in Algeria. Zinedine Zidane’s son, Luca, is among the selected internationals. Behind, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Ramy Bensebaïni and Aïssa Mandi are there, like Ismaël Bennacer, Houssem Aouar, Hicham Boudaoui and Ibrahim Maza at the heart of the game.
