Algeria's women's national football team, known as the Fennecs, is gearing up for the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations 2026. Under the guidance of head coach Farid Benstiti, the team secured their spot by defeating Cameroon in the qualifiers, positioning themselves as serious contenders in the tournament.
The team's preparation includes intensive training camps and friendly matches to build cohesion and tactical discipline. Benstiti, a former coach of Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais women's teams, brings extensive experience to the squad.
Algeria aims to challenge traditional powerhouses like Nigeria and South Africa. The tournament is scheduled to take place in Morocco, with the exact dates to be confirmed by CAF. The Fennecs hope to improve on their previous best performance, a quarterfinal finish in 2018.
