Adil Bourabaa is set to make his debut with the senior national team. Initially selected for the Algerian U23 squad, the 21-year-old midfielder has been called up to the senior team following Nabil Bentaleb's withdrawal.
This promotion highlights his impressive start to the season with Le Mans. Bourabaa has notably stood out by scoring three goals and providing two assists in five matches, placing him among the most influential players in his league.
Head coach Brahim Hemdani has decided to give him his first call-up to the Fennecs. Hailing from Drancy, he will now have the chance to carve out a place for himself in the Algerian national team.
Algeria will face Zambia on Friday in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, before traveling to Burundi on Tuesday. A friendly match against Niger is also scheduled for October 6.
