Hamdani Discusses Algeria Captain Selection
The process of selecting the captain of the Algerian national team is heading towards a decision at the start of the September 2026 training camp, in preparation for the matches against Zambia and Burundi in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, following the retirements of Riyad Mahrez and Ibrahima Mandi. Coach Ibrahim Hamdani clarified that he has an initial idea about the new captain, with the possibility of choosing between Rami Bensebaini and Nabil Bentaleb, though Bensebaini is heavily favored due to his extensive experience with the national team and significant contributions, including 86 appearances and 9 goals. Since 2017, he has also led the defense line and demonstrated leadership qualities. The decision will depend on the player's ability to guide young players and carry responsibility, rather than solely on seniority.
