Playing for Algeria has been my lifelong dream
Malvin Mastil, the goalkeeper of the Algerian national team, confirmed that playing for the national team has been his childhood dream and that he feels proud to represent Algeria in the 2026 World Cup, despite not participating in the matches, as he was part of the reserve squad. He explained that he holds three citizenships (France, Algeria, Switzerland) and feels a responsibility to make 60 million Algerians proud. He also mentioned his meeting with Lionel Messi, during which they exchanged jerseys, and considered his recent success as the best goalkeeper in the Swiss Second Division and achieving his dream of participating in the World Cup among his most significant accomplishments. It is expected that Mastil will be the starting goalkeeper for Algeria as the Africa Cup qualifiers for 2027 begin, especially after the absence of goalkeeper Luka Zidan and the decline in the level of some other goalkeepers.
