2026 World Cup - Algeria - National-Team - Squad
Algeria has handed Luca Zidane, son of France legend Zinedine Zidane, a call-up to his first World Cup.
Former Manchester City and Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez, now 35 and playing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, will also be making the trip.
Zidane, 28, was Algeria's first-choice goalkeeper at the Africa Cup of Nations but broke his jaw and chin in April when playing for Spanish club side Granada.
Former Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb has been recalled by coach Vladimir Petkovic after seven months out of the squad, while there are also places for Houssem Aouar and Amine Gouiri, who missed the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco at the turn of the year because of injury.
Algeria will compete in Group J with holders Argentina, Austria, and Jordan.
