GROUP JAlgeria's greatest World Cup moment came in 2014 when they reached the Round of 16 for the first time, taking Germany to extra time before losing 2-1. Goalkeeper Rais M'Bolhi was heroic.
Algeria won the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, led by Baghdad Bounedjah's wonder goal in the final. They went on a 35-match unbeaten run from 2018 to 2021.
Algerian fans are nicknamed 'Les Fennecs' after the fennec fox — the national animal. Their supporters are known for passionate displays of North African drumming and chanting that electrify stadiums.
