Algeria’s national football team began preparations in Bujumbura with a recovery session after arriving in Burundi on Sunday evening, according to Ennahar Online. The squad faces the hosts on Tuesday in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The players, including Mohamed Amine Amoura, worked in a strength-training room following the journey from Algeria. The session was intended to help them recover from travel before the second Group Nine fixture, the publication reported.
Training at Intwari Stadium
Algeria departed on Sunday morning and arrived in Burundi later that day. Ennahar said the squad, led by national coach Ibrahim Hamdani, is expected to hold its main training session at Bujumbura’s Intwari Stadium on Monday, at the same time as the match.
Tuesday’s Burundi–Algeria game is scheduled for 2 p.m. Algeria time at Intwari Stadium, according to the report.
Algeria are seeking a second consecutive win in qualifying. Ennahar reported that they opened with a 3–1 victory over Zambia and lead Group Nine on goal difference ahead of Togo.
