Ibrahim Hamdani, the coach of the Algeria national team, has decided to release left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri from the "Greens" camp, following the incident that occurred during the match against Zambia in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.


Rayan Aït-Nouri refused to enter the pitch as a substitute during the match, after the coaching staff asked him to prepare for participation, before retracting their decision to include him, which caused a tense atmosphere on the bench.


Following the incident, Hamdani made the decision to dismiss the player from the camp, causing Aït-Nouri to leave the national team before the upcoming match, while awaiting any further actions that may arise from the incident.


The Algeria national team secured a victory over Zambia with three goals to one, while the incident involving Rayan Aït-Nouri sparked widespread controversy after the match.
