AFCON 2025 – Algeria: The FAF has set the dates
Algeria: Key dates ahead of AFCON 2025
After two successive group stage exits in 2021 and 2024, Algeria is gearing up for a very special AFCON 2025, hosted by their neighbors in Morocco. This is a tournament where excuses will no longer be tolerated for Vladimir Petkovic, his staff, the federation, and a squad that knows the stakes are high. Having confidently secured qualification for both this AFCON and the 2026 World Cup, the Fennecs seem to have rediscovered a clear direction, even if the head coach urges caution and patience before drawing any final conclusions about the team’s resurgence.

In this atmosphere of high expectations, the FAF has reportedly set a preparatory program to build momentum ahead of the tournament. Three key dates will mark the Fennecs’ final preparations: on December 10, Vladimir Petković will announce his final squad; on December 15, the national team camp will kick off; and on December 19, the delegation will fly out to Morocco. It’s a tightly packed schedule, designed to optimize chemistry, physical freshness, and the cohesion of a group under pressure.
This AFCON is more than just a tournament—it’s a moment of reckoning. Algeria will be playing for its credibility, its status, and its ambitions. After two failed campaigns, the Fennecs have only one option left: to lift their heads and prove they remain a powerhouse in African football.
