Algeria

Algeria and Uruguay ended their match in Turin on Tuesday in a goalless draw (0-0) as part of their preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The Fennecs still face many uncertainties just two months before the start of the tournament.

No goals were scored in Turin. Algeria had a strong start, but the first chance fell to Ronald Araujo. The Barcelona defender’s header narrowly missed the target (18′). Twenty minutes later, the Algerian goalkeeper made a great save from a shot outside the box. The tension increased towards the end of the first half as both teams engaged in tough battles and the referee showed cards.

The second half started slowly, but two back-to-back chances brought excitement to Turin! Aouar and De Arascaeta missed two big opportunities to score. The game intensified despite the persisting tension, with Uruguay dominating. Valverde tried to save the day, but his efforts were not successful, and no player turned into a hero to break the deadlock. Uncertainties still linger for Algeria just two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

Before heading to the World Cup, Algeria will conclude their preparations with a huge clash against the Netherlands. This ideal test will take place two weeks before the Fennecs face the world champions Argentina in the World Cup.

The match between Algeria and Uruguay took place on Tuesday, March 31 at 8:30 pm at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. It was a friendly match broadcasted on L’Equipe Live.
