CAF African Schools Football Championship: Team Profile – Algeria (Boys)

Algeria will be making a return to the CAF African Schools Football Championship continental finals this year after missing out on the Zanzibar edition in 2023-24.

The North African champions secured their ticket to Accra after winning the round-robin qualifiers that were played on home soil in Oran.

The Algerians emerged victorious ahead of strong competition from Morocco and Tunisia, who narrowly missed out.

Algeria’s return sees them represent the North Zone after Libya did so last time out. They will be aiming at doing better than their regional counterparts, who could not advance from the group stages of the highly competitive youth competition.

The last time Algeria appeared at the finals was in the inaugural edition of the CAF African Schools Football Championship where they were represented by Ecole Boulawech Boumerdes School.

Despite a gallant performance, the Algerians could not go beyond the group stages, a feat that they will be hoping to improve on in Accra this season.
