National Team: Brahim Hemdani launches scouting mission to bolster the squad

With the November international break approaching, the coaching staff led by Brahim Hemdani is stepping up efforts to strengthen the national team. A scouting tour across Europe is planned to identify new talent, with a specific focus on reinforcing the center-back position, goalkeeper role, and adding depth to the attack. The scouting scope also includes domestic players from the Algerian Ligue 1, particularly those featuring in continental matches with MC Alger, CR Belouizdad, and USM Alger. Meanwhile, adjustments to the technical staff are underway, with reports suggesting Karim Matmour may join the team instead of the initially discussed Nadir Belhadj. These preparations are essential ahead of the upcoming double-header against Togo on November 14 and 17, as part of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.
