Former Algerian international footballer Ali Bencheikh has joined the analytical studio of Qatar’s Al Kass channel, marking his first foray into professional broadcasting in the Gulf region. He will be providing expert analysis for the Arab Cup matches, alongside a host of other prominent former Arab football stars.
Bencheikh made his debut appearance on the program ‘Al Majlis,’ where he shared his views on FIFA’s new rule regarding the Arab Cup. The rule stipulates that any player requiring on-field treatment must leave the field for two minutes, with their team continuing play with only ten players during that period, subject to certain exceptions.
During his analysis, Bencheikh stated that Group A, consisting of Qatar, Palestine, Tunisia, and Syria, is the strongest group in the upcoming 2025 Arab Cup tournament. He highlighted the competitive balance and potential for exciting matches within this particular group.
DZWatch understands that this marks a significant step in Bencheikh’s post-playing career, allowing him to leverage his extensive football knowledge and experience on a prominent regional platform. His insights are expected to be valuable to viewers across the Arab world as they follow the prestigious Arab Cup competition.
The former Algerian star’s move to Al Kass channel underscores the growing importance of the Arab Cup and the increasing demand for expert analysis from seasoned football professionals like Ali Bencheikh. DZWatch will continue to provide updates on Bencheikh’s broadcasting career and other developments in the world of Algerian and Arab football.
