The national team is preparing to cut the ribbon on its participation in the 2025 Arab Cup with a strong confrontation against Sudan today, Wednesday, in a meeting in which Madjid Bougherra’s men are searching for an ideal start towards preserving the title they won four years ago in Qatar. An exciting atmosphere precedes the confrontation, and the fans await the first appearance of “Al-Khader” in the hero’s guise.

The match will be held at Ahmed Ben Ali Stadium at one o’clock in the afternoon Algeria time, in a confrontation that the Algerian team will enter with a clear goal: to confirm the character of the champion from the beginning, and to send a strong message to the competitors that preserving the cup is not just an ambition… but rather a mission that begins today.

Despite the absence of captain Yacine Brahimi at the beginning of the tournament, Bougherra chose to rely on a combination of experience and ambition. In order to take early control of the events of Group Four, which also includes Bahrain and Iraq, in a competition described as among the strongest in the first round.

The Algerian national team will play the match with an attacking playing system (4-3-3), which gives the parties and attackers greater freedom to threaten the Sudanese defense, while controlling the rhythm of the midfield and placing high pressure on the ball carrier. Coach Bougherra relies on the international experience of his stars who previously played for the first team.
