Zbirna Algeria has secured its participation in the World Championship 2026. In the match of the ninth round of the qualifying stage, the team under the leadership of Volodymyr Petkovic defeated Somalia with a 3:0 score and guaranteed first place in their group before the line.

After this victory, the Algerians are ahead of the closest runner-up - the Ugandan team - by several points, which makes them unattainable for the round before the completion of qualification.

For Algeria, the first entry into the World Cup since 2014. Then the team reached the 1/8 finals, where they lost to the mighty champions - the national team of Nimechchina.

Let’s remember that the World Cup 2026 will be held by the USA, Canada and Mexico from 11 rubles to 19 rubles. The tournament will become the first World Cup with an expanded format, from which 48 teams will take part.
