Why this timeline is crucial

After disappointing performances in recent Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, Algeria needs to regain confidence and results more than ever. The opening match against Sudan will be a crucial first step towards securing a victory and setting the tone.

Furthermore, the clash against Burkina Faso is already being presented as the real battle for first place in Group E: the Burkinabe have often caused problems for Algeria in recent years.

Finally, the last match against Equatorial Guinea has a symbolic dimension: the two nations have faced each other in recent history, and La Verde (Algeria) will want to close the group stage in the best possible way.

The stakes for Algeria

Qualifying among the best: With only three group matches, every point counts. The Algerians must avoid any slip-ups.
Reaffirming their status: Algeria boasts an enviable record but has stagnated recently. This AFCON is an opportunity to reignite their momentum.
Validate Petković's project: The arrival of the Swiss coach marks a new beginning. The tight schedule necessitates finding a quick balance between experience and youth.
To thrill the fans: The team is playing to regain national pride. A good run in the group stage would send a strong message.

To remember

Group E: Sudan – Burkina Faso – Equatorial Guinea + Algeria.
Match dates: December 24, December 28 and December 31, 2025.
Location: Rabat, Morocco.
Objective: to emerge from the group stage in first place or among the best third-placed teams in order to aim high.

This will be a good test before the 2026 World Cup where the Fennecs also hope for a good run after their beautiful qualification.
