The head of the Algerian Federation warns against exploiting his country’s exit from the Nations Cup to “hit the stability of the Greens”

Sharafeddine Amara, head of the Algerian Football Association, warned against exploiting the defending champion’s exit from the group stage of the African Nations Cup to “hit the stability of the national team” before playing the two decisive round matches for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar next March against Cameroon.

Algeria was eliminated from the African Nations Cup in Cameroon from the group stage after a harsh 3-1 loss to Ivory Coast after dropping its group by one point.

After a meeting to assess Algeria’s participation in the Nations Cup, the president of the Algerian Football Federation called on everyone to “general mobilize and show the same state of mind, or even more than that that prevailed during the past three years, which allowed our national teams to reach the top of football at the African and Arab levels, in addition to Achieving a historical series of non-defeat, without counting the happiness that he drew on the faces of the Algerian people and supporters of the Greens in particular.

Emara also called on everyone to "not yield to treacherous attacks from some circles that want to take advantage of the early exit in order to strike the stability of the Algerian national team."

Algeria, the Arab Cup champion, will seek to regain its luster quickly after exiting the Nations Cup to focus on the playoff against Cameroon to qualify for the World Cup.

Algeria also hopes to forget the history of its confrontations with Cameroon, as it has only won once in nine matches.

Algeria lost four times and drew on four occasions.

The first legs will be played on March 24, while the return matches will be played five days later.
