Algeria’s road to the FIFA World Cup 2026 is heating up, and their attacking power has been one of the standout stories of the qualifiers. With 16 goals scored by 10 different players in Group G, the North African side sits on the verge of a return to the global stage for the first time since Brazil 2014.
As they prepare for decisive clashes against Botswana and Guinea, the spotlight shines on the strikers driving their campaign.
Mohamed Amoura has been the revelation, netting five goals in just two March fixtures, including a hat-trick against Mozambique. His pace and sharp instincts have quickly made him a fixture in the starting XI.
Amine Gouiri has been equally influential, thriving at Marseille after his move from Rennes. With six international goals since debuting in 2023, he looks set to become a long-term leader for the Fennecs.
Houssem Aouar, once seen as a French prodigy, has found form in Saudi Arabia with Al Ittihad, scoring 13 goals last season. His creativity and eye for goal add another dimension to Algeria’s midfield.
Said Benrahma continues to offer flair and goals from the wings, while veteran Baghdad Bounedjah, Algeria’s joint-third highest scorer with 32 international goals, remains a reliable option up front.
Finally, youngster Fares Chaibi, still adapting in the Bundesliga, has already shown promise at international level with key contributions in qualifying.
With this mix of youth, experience, and depth, Algeria’s front line is brimming with options. Two more victories could be enough to confirm their ticket to the FIFA World Cup 2026™, where the Fennecs will aim to make a statement on football’s biggest stage.
