With just three months remaining before the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Morocco on December 21, Algeria has mapped out a strategy rooted in familiarity and focus.

Head coach Vladimir Petkovic, in concert with the Algerian Football Federation, has confirmed that the Fennecs will conduct their final pre-tournament camp at the Sidi Moussa Technical Center in Algiers. Unlike previous editions where preparations often took place abroad, this decision keeps the players close to their fans while ensuring a controlled, comfortable environment for fine-tuning tactics.

Friendly fixtures are still under discussion, but several African nations have already shown interest in sparring with the North African giants.

Algeria heads to Morocco in December drawn into a balanced yet treacherous Group E alongside Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea, and Sudan. On paper, Petkovic’s men remain favorites, but memories of recent group-stage setbacks serve as a sharp warning: complacency is not an option.

Determined to reclaim their continental crown, Algeria’s home-based preparations reflect a squad fully aware that AFCON 2025 offers both a challenge and a chance for redemption.
