The coach of the Algerian national team A’ (Algeria A), Madjid Bougherra, formalized this Monday, Sunday, the list of 23 players selected to compete in the 2025 Arab Nations Cup, scheduled for December 1 to 18, in Qatar. A selection marked by strong choices, unexpected returns and several notable exclusions after the last internship in Egypt.
Bougherra has, in fact, decided to remove several players who did not give satisfaction during the Cairo regrouping, like Nassim L’Ghoul, Abderrahim Daghmoum, as well as the defensive duo Mohamed Amine Madani – Imad Azzi. These elements, although expected to appear in the final group, did not convince the technical staff.
In the same register, the attacker of CR Belouizdad Chabab Riadhi Belouizdad, more commonly abbreviated to Chabab Belouizdad or CRB, is an Algerian football club based in the Belouizdad district of Algiers, founded on July 15, 1962.Abderrahmane Meziane, was removed from the list in the final hours, leaving his place to a surprise, the defender of JS Kabylie, Réda Benchâa, returned to the coach’s plans after a long period off the radar. On the other hand, a few prestigious names confirm their presence. Islam Slimani, top scorer in the history of the A selection, will experience the final international adventure of his career in Qatar.
The center forward, a symbol of combativeness, will bring his experience to a largely renewed group. Midfielder Victor Lekhal, revelation of the training in Egypt, is also renewed, rewarded for his consistency and his impact in the game. The list also includes Yacine Brahimi. Despite the announcement from his club Al-Gharafa reporting an injury and a forced two-week rest, the Algerian maestro should be operational for the competition. The staff also called on SC Al-Siliya winger Adam Ounas, a strong offensive reinforcement who expands the options in the corridors. Another significant decision, the presence of Yassine Benzia, released exceptionally by Vladimir Petkovic.
A strong signal from the coach of team A, who sees this tournament as an opportunity for his player to gain momentum. Conversely, several anticipated elements were left available to the first selection, notably Youcef Atal and Mohamed Amine Tougaï, now very close to entering the extended list of 28 players who will travel to Morocco for CAN-2025. According to our information, Bougherra also declined the possibility of calling Saïd Benrahma, whose name was recently circulating to strengthen the local selection.
The first to join the National Technical Center of Sidi-Moussa will be goalkeeper Rayan Yesli, his MLS season having already ended. He will quickly join the group before departure, scheduled for Doha on November 28. Other players playing abroad will directly join the delegation for training. With this list, Bougherra operates a blend of experience, raw talent and players on the rise. Objective: defend at all costs the Arab title won in 2021 and give a final heroic chapter to the international history of several executives.
The championship on pause during the Arab Cup
The Professional Football League (LFP) has decided to temporarily suspend the Ligue 1 championship during the participation of the national selection of local players in the 2025 Arab Cup scheduled in Qatar from December 1 to 18. According to reports, this measure was adopted in coordination with the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) in order to preserve the interests of the clubs and ensure sporting fairness. Several teams risk, in fact, being deprived of numerous elements summoned to the national team, making it difficult to hold official meetings.
The League had considered only postponing the matches of clubs with more than three players selected, before abandoning this option to avoid a calendar already saturated with late matches, like the leader, the MC Algiers The Mouloudia Club of Algiers, more commonly abbreviated to Mouloudia of Algiers or MCA, is an Algerian multi-sport club founded on August 7, 1921 and based in Algiers. The Mouloudia Club of Algiers is the only Algerian team that managed to win the treble in 1976 and winning the first continental trophy.which has only eight matches played out of twelve. The 12th day will continue this weekend before the competition officially ends. This decision comes as the selection of locals returns from an internship in Cairo punctuated by two tests against Egypt A’. Coach Madjid Bougherra must announce the final list in the coming hours.
