The Algerian U20 national team has been eliminated from the race for the Africa Cup of Nations following a 2-0 defeat against Egypt this Tuesday during the North African qualifying tournament. The team, led by coaches Hocine Achiou and Yacine Bezzaz, needed a victory to secure their qualification, whereas their Egyptian counterparts only required a draw. With this loss, Algeria concludes their tournament run with four points, having recorded a draw against Tunisia (1-1), a win against Libya (3-1), and two defeats against Morocco (1-3) and Egypt (0-2).
