Algeria beat Zambia (3-1) and Niger (2-1), with a difficult draw in Burundi (2-2). Brahim Hemdani began his tenure as coach with mixed results.
The coach conducted many trials. Some players gained places, others lost their starting status. The list of winners and losers has been established by observers.
This initial assessment is positive overall, but adjustments are expected for the upcoming deadlines, notably the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
