Ait Nouri combines goodness and youth

Although his start with Manchester City was not ideal after he suffered an injury that kept him out for nearly six weeks, he returned to begin a journey of finding his way within Pep Guardiola’s star-studded and competitive system. On the international level, Rayan Ait Nouri continues to consolidate his position within the ranks of the Algerian national team, having played 25 matches so far, which gives him… An important asset of experience at an appropriate age to be one of the faces of the next stage.”

At the age of twenty-two, Boulbena embodies a left winger who combines skill and efficiency in front of goal, which was quickly reflected with the Algerian national team when he made his first appearance in the FIFA Arab Cup – Qatar 2025, where he imposed himself as an effective offensive option and finished the job as the team’s top scorer.” With three goals during the campaign that ended in the quarter-finals, he also excelled in the 2025 African Cup of Nations by scoring the decisive winning goal against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, confirming his international start that reflects his readiness to move to bigger roles within the national team’s project in the next stage.”

Chaibi’s career began in the French team Toulouse, before he moved in August 2023 to the German team Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was able to prove his potential, becoming a key player in most of the matches of the current season.”
Amoura is a striking force in the Algerian national team

By scoring ten goals, Amoura topped the list of top scorers in the African qualifiers and contributed directly to the return of the “Desert Warriors” to the World Cup, confirming his value as a player who combines speed, smart movements, and efficiency in front of goal, with flexibility that allows him to play as an outright striker or on both sides of the attack. He played 42 matches for the national team, during which he scored 19 goals, consolidating his position as one of the most prominent offensive elements in the national team’s project in the coming years. This brilliance was also reflected in his level with Wolfsburg after an experience he played with the Belgian team Union Saint-Geloise.
