The Algerian national futsal team's journey in the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations ended on Monday following a 3-2 defeat to Angola in the semi-finals. Algeria held a comfortable two-goal lead at halftime, but the Angolans mounted a comeback in the second period to seal the victory. Despite the loss, Algeria still has a chance to qualify for the World Cup through the third-place play-off against the loser of the Morocco-Egypt match. Reaching the semi-finals in their debut appearance remains a significant achievement for the team.
