Algeria arrive in the US for the 2026 World Cup

Algeria touched down in the United States overnight Sunday to Monday ahead of the 2026 World Cup, landing to a thunderous reception in Kansas City. Fans greeted the Fennecs at the airport with klaxons, smoke flares, and a raucous atmosphere before the squad traveled on to their base in Lawrence. The scenes mark the start of a campaign that carries real weight – after a puzzling Africa Cup of Nations exit and a qualifying run that raised more questions than answers, this tournament is where your team must finally show its identity. The world is watching, and the welcome made one thing clear: the faithful believe.
