Algeria look to make some noise during the 2026 World Cup under manager Vladimir Petković’s possession-based yet cautious tactics.

The team is making their first appearance in the World Cup since 2014, which is also their best finish ever, reaching the Round of 16.

That said, here’s a full list of Algeria’s squad and the clubs represented by each of the 26 players competing in the World Cup.

Players to Keep An Eye On

ESPN’s Anirudh Menon wrote about players to keep an eye on for the Algerian national soccer team.

“Another fading superstar, Algeria’s finest, Riyad Mahrez, still has magic in his boots as he’s shown infrequently on the Asian stage with Al Ahli and more frequently with Algeria in qualification. To supplement his skill, there’s a forward on the other end of the experience spectrum: 20-year-old Ibrahim Maza. Of the pure trickster variety, Maza can be a lot of fun when in the mood, and it will be up to Petkovic to platform him in a manner that lets him do just that.

Meanwhile, in goal, a bearer of a famous surname will look to cut his own path. Luca Zidane, son of Zinedine, recently committed to Algeria and has shown to be a capable No. 1 in goal. With the likes of Ramy Bensebaini and Rayan Ait-Nouri at the back, Algeria are well set up to play the possession-heavy style Petkovic prefers.”

Algeria will play its matches in Group J. The Algerians open their World Cup on June 17 in Kansas City, Missouri, where they will take on defending champions Argentina. Five days later, they take on debutants Jordan in Santa Clara, California. For their final group stage match, they travel back to Kansas City to take on Austria on June 27. The two group winners and the eight best third-placed teams from each group will advance to the next stage.

Algeria Schedule:

• June 17 – Argentina (9 pm EST)
• June 22 – Jordan (11 pm EST)
• June 27 – Austria (10 pm EST)
