Algeria omits Aouar, adds Derayaa forward
The article focused on the announcement by Algeria's national team coach, Ibrahim Hamdani, of the list of players who will face Zambia and Burundi in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for 2027, as well as a friendly match with Niger. The list included 26 players, with Houssam Aouar excluded for technical reasons, despite his appearance at the 2026 World Cup. The squad featured goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, among them Adel Boulbina, who scored two goals in four matches with his newly promoted team, Al Durrah. The Algerian team will begin their qualifiers in Tizi Ouzou against Zambia, then face Burundi, and conclude with a friendly match against Niger. Hamdani’s decision not to include goalkeeper Luka Zidan was due to a suspension from the African Confederation. Aouar was excluded based on the coach’s assessment of his technical level, with the door remaining open for his future inclusion.
