The Algerian national team is preparing to achieve a new leap in the FIFA World Ranking, after being ranked 38th globally in the latest ranking released last September.

According to initial updates from Football Ranking, which specializes in calculating points before the official ranking is published, the 'Greens' are expected to move up to 35th place globally thanks to the positive results they achieved in October.

This deserved advancement came after two consecutive victories recorded by coach Vladimir Petkovic's squad in the ninth and tenth rounds of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which enabled them to secure early qualification for the World Cup.

FIFA is expected to announce the new global ranking next week, during which significant changes are anticipated in the top positions in Africa, with the Algerian national team expected to occupy fourth place in Africa and third in the Arab world, behind Morocco and Egypt.

This progress reflects the fruits of the technical and methodological work carried out by the coaching staff led by Petkovic, in addition to the high collective spirit demonstrated by the players in the qualifiers, confirming that the 'Greens' are steadily moving towards regaining their place among the continent's and the world's elite.
