The national team of Algeria
will face in this Saturday, in a match counting for the second day of group D
qualifying for the African Cup of
Nations CAN-2019 with Gambia. In
view of this first official outing of the national team in 2018, Belmadi has
called 25 players.
Match Schedule:
Algeria vs. Gambia
African Cup of Nations Qualification
Date: 08 September
2018; Time: 16:30
Venue: Independence
Stadium (Bakau)
The two new players from FC Metz, midfielder Farid Boulaya
and goaltender Alexandre Oukidja will also honor their first selection with
Algeria. On the second day of the CAN
2019 qualifiers, the fennecs at the top of their group will fly to Banjul
on September 6th on a special flight. The kickoff of this match will be given from the stage of
independence of Banjul, Saturday, September 8, at 16:30 local.
Algeria travels to the Gambia for the second
day of the CAN 2019 qualifiers. This
is a new era that begins for the Algerian selection. After watching the World
Cup at home, the Fennecs changed coach. Djamel Belmadi, the former OM player in
particular, took the reins of the team instead of Rabah Madjer.
For his first outing, Belmadi will have to negotiate a trip
to The Gambia. A priori, this should
not cause any concern especially since the Gambian selection has not won a
match since September 2013. Winner of their first match against Togo (1-0), in
June 2017, the Algerians are currently first in group D. Only the first place
offers a qualification for the African
Cup of Nations 2019.
