Algeria: Ziani’s squad and schedule for the U15 World Cup

Algeria will compete in the first FIFA U15 World Cup and Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan, from October 24 to 30. Karim Ziani selected 14 players, all from Algerian clubs, including four from Paradou AC; the team will face Argentina, Suriname, Chinese Taipei, Malawi and Oman in Group B. The experimental competition will be played eight-a-side, and participating federations were invited rather than qualifying through a tournament. A second phase is scheduled for October 28–30, with Algeria’s opponents determined by its group ranking.
