Algeria kick off World Cup against Bolivia

Algeria open their 2026 World Cup campaign today against Bolivia in what feels like a must-set-the-tone fixture for a side still searching for its true identity. The Fennecs arrive at the tournament carrying the weight of an inconsistent recent record – a comfortable qualifying run undone by a baffling early AFCON exit – and questions about their tactical cohesion linger. No scoreline has been reported from the match yet. For Bolivia, this is also their first outing of the tournament, with Argentina waiting as their next opponent.
