The story

Club & Football History

The Algeria national football team (Arabic: منتخب الْجَزَائِر لِكُرَّةُ الْقَدَم; Standard Algerian Berber: ⵜⴰⵔⴱⴰⵄⵜ ⵜⴰⴷⵣⴰⵢⵔⵉⵜ ⵏ ⴷⴷⴰⴱⵅ ⵓⴹⴰⵔ) represents Algeria in men's international football, and is governed by the Algerian Football Federation.

The team plays its home matches at Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers and Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran. Algeria joined FIFA on 1 January 1964, a year and a half after gaining independence. The North African team has qualified for five FIFA World Cups, in 1982, 1986, 2010, 2014, and 2026.

For the Algerians, their biggest victory on the world stage was their 2–1 win against West Germany during the 1982 FIFA World Cup, and in 2014, Algeria became the first African team to score at least four goals in a match at a World Cup, doing so against South Korea.
