Former international footballer Rafik Saïfi officially joined the technical staff of Algeria’s national team on Friday. This development, announced at the technical center in Sidi Moussa, is part of Saïfi’s journey to obtaining the prestigious AFC Pro coaching license.
The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) confirmed Saïfi’s temporary inclusion in a statement. With an illustrious international career spanning 64 matches and 18 goals, Saïfi will be working alongside the national team’s technical staff through Sunday’s match against Liberia. This encounter, part of the sixth and final round of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, marks a critical moment in Algeria’s preparation for the continental competition.
Rafik Saïfi’s extensive experience and knowledge of the game are expected to contribute significantly to the team’s readiness and cohesion. His involvement demonstrates the federation’s commitment to integrating former players into coaching roles, thereby strengthening the national football structure.
