Mahrez and Ouar lead Algeria at World Cup
Algerian Riyad Mahrez, winger of Al-Ahli Club, and Houssam Aouar, star of Union, have been included in the list of players selected to participate in the 2026 World Cup, as announced by Swiss coach Vladimir Petković. The list comprises 27 players, although FIFA regulations specify a selection of 26 players, likely leading to the omission of one of the four goalkeepers. Mahrez, who is 35 years old, is expected to participate in his last World Cup, having previously competed in the 2014 edition. The list also features the return of Nabil Bentaleb and the appearance of Luka Zidan in the squad, as Algeria prepares for competition in Group 10 of the tournament.
