Algeria is preparing to face Switzerland in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. A key concern for the Algerian national team is the performance of their goalkeepers. Coach Vladimir Petković has trialed Luca Zidane and Oussama Benbot in the first two matches, but neither has fully convinced. The team is now considering a third option, potentially involving goalkeeper Mastil. The uncertainty surrounding the goalkeeping position adds an element of suspense to Algeria’s preparations. The match against Switzerland is expected to be a challenging contest for both sides. The final decision on who will start in goal remains a significant point of discussion for the Algerian coaching staff.
