🇩🇿 Algeria

Algeria are a technically gifted North African side. A CAF side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1780 — 27th of the 48 teams — in Group J.

Their best World Cup run was the Round of 16 in 2014; African champions in 2019. Quick and skilful, favouring combination play and energetic pressing.

Drawn alongside Argentina, Austria and Jordan, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with Argentina. Our model projects them to finish 3rd in the group and to reach the Round of 32.
