The Algerian national local team missed the chance to advance further in the CHAN finals after being eliminated in the quarter-finals following a penalty shootout loss to Sudan. The match ended 1-1 after regular and extra time. Coach Bougherra is now focusing on analyzing the mistakes and shortcomings from CHAN to prepare for the upcoming Arab Cup in December. Despite controlling the game, the team lacked effectiveness and faced challenges such as a short preparation period, limited time to form the squad, and the quality of local players. Bougherra plans to correct these issues and possibly make changes to the squad ahead of the October training camp, which will serve as preparation for the Arab Cup in Qatar.
