In a lengthy interview with the platform "Foot Korner," Ait Nouri stated that he considers winning the Africa Cup of Nations a special dream that surpasses any other achievement. He added, "I would prefer to see my country crowned with the African Cup, as this title means much more to us than just a respectable participation in the World Cup."

The "Greens" are expected to compete in the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, before participating later in the World Cup scheduled from June 11 to July 19, 2026.

In another question about his preference between the UEFA Champions League and the World Cup, Ait Nouri chose the World Cup without hesitation, while he refused to make an absolute comparison between the two stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, saying: "Cristiano is my favorite, but Messi is also a great player."

Ayat Nouri's statements reflect his commitment to his African and Algerian identity, as well as his determination to achieve continental glory with the national team in the upcoming phase, which the Algerian public has high hopes for.
