The Algerian national football<\/a> team has officially begun its assembly in Algiers, marking the commencement of a new era under the leadership of recently appointed coach Brahim Hemdani. Players convened at the Houari-Boumediene international airport before proceeding to the National Technical Center in Sidi Moussa. This gathering initiates preparations for upcoming international fixtures, including AFCON<\/a> qualifiers.<\/p>\n

A significant development in the squad is the first senior call-up for 21-year-old midfielder Adil Bourabaa. The promising talent, who has shown an impressive start to his season with Le Mans, joins the Fennecs to replace Nabil Bentaleb. Bourabaa's remarkable performances, which include scoring three goals and providing two assists in five Ligue 1 matches, earned him this opportunity to establish himself at the international level. He previously captained the Algeria<\/a> U23s.<\/p>\n

Key players such as Adem Zorgane, Jaouen Hadjam, Ahmed Touba, Adil Aouchiche, Sohaib Nair, Ilan Kebbal, Himad Abdelli, Amine Gouiri, Mohamed Amoura, Melvin Mastil, Amin Chiakha, and Ibrahim Maza are among those who have arrived in the capital. The team is scheduled to face Zambia this Friday and Burundi next Tuesday in AFCON qualifiers, followed by a friendly match against Niger on October 6, offering the new squad opportunities to integrate under coach Hemdani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
