🏆 Algeria All-time National football Dream team Squads

The Algeria national football team represents Algeria in men's international football, and is governed by the Algerian Football Federation. The team plays its home matches at Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers and Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran. Algeria joined FIFA on 1 January 1964, a year and a half after gaining independence.

The North African team has qualified for five FIFA World Cups, in 1982, 1986, 2010, 2014, and 2026. Algeria has won the Africa Cup of Nations twice, as hosts in 1990, and again in Egypt in 2019. They were also champions of the men's football tournament of the 1975 Mediterranean Games, the men's football tournament of the 1978 All-Africa Games, the 1991 Afro-Asian Cup of Nations, and the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup.

Algeria has rivalries with Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, while competitive matches have been played against Nigeria, especially in the 1980s, and Mali due to sharing a common border and a long-standing competitive rivalry, and against Senegal. For the Algerians, their biggest victory on the world stage was their 2–1 win against West Germany during the 1982 FIFA World Cup, and in 2014, Algeria became the first African team to score at least four goals in a match at a World Cup, doing so against South Korea.
