The Algeria national football team, known as the Fennec Foxes, is the proud representative of the North African nation on the international stage, competing under the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Based in Algiers, the team plays its home matches at the iconic Stade du 5 Juillet 1962 and other national stadiums, wearing the green, white, and red of the Algerian flag. Founded as the national governing body in the 20th century, the team's history is intertwined with the country's identity, achieving its first major milestone by qualifying for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. The peak era arrived in the late 2000s and 2010s, culminating in the historic 2019 Africa Cup of Nations triumph in Egypt, led by stars like Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani. This golden generation also delivered a legendary run to the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup. The modern era sees a transitional team blending veterans from that glorious period with a new wave of talent, consistently aiming for World Cup qualification and deep AFCON runs. The team culture is defined by immense national pride and a passionate, widespread diaspora support that turns every match into a major event. The Fennec Foxes remain a formidable and respected force in African and world football.
