Algeria

The 2014 FIFA World Cup has been one of the most eagerly anticipated and exciting tournaments for many years. 5 African nations qualified for the finals in Brazil; Algeria, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Ghana. For the 1^st time 2 African teams made it out of the group stages, certainly putting on great performances of soccer skill and entertainment. The Algeria football jerseys, and Nigeria soccer shirts were the latest casualties of the knockout stage, but neither side went easily.

With roots in 1962, the Algeria national soccer team may be a late starter when compared to some of the older teams, but the team undoubtedly still has a heart for competition on the world stage. Algeria has qualified for four World Cups over the years, scoring their highest position with a 13^th place finish at their first competition in 1982. This year, the team is ranked by FIFA as 24 going into the World Cup, so we will have to wait until June to see where the players in the green and white Algeria football shirts land.

For the World Cup 2014, the Algeria national soccer team has been drawn into Group H, with its first competitors to be Belgium, Russia, and South Korea. Fans of Algeria are hopeful that their team will move further into the competition this year than in ones past.
