Algeria — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Algeria beat Senegal 1-0 in Cairo for a second AFCON title, their first since 1990 on home soil.
Algeria's most recent Africa Cup of Nations title, in 2019, was won without losing a single match, beating Senegal 1-0 in the final through an early Baghdad Bounedjah goal that stood up despite a heavily one-sided second half. Riyad Mahrez, a Premier League winner with Leicester City in 2016, was a leading figure in the title-winning side. Ismaël Bennacer was named CAF's player of the tournament. It was Algeria's second AFCON title, following their first as hosts in 1990, when they beat Nigeria 1-0 in front of a home crowd in Algiers. Algeria's World Cup history includes one of the sport's most infamous matches — the 1982 'Disgrace of Gijon,' where West Germany and Austria played out a result that eliminated Algeria despite the Algerians' own strong performances, an episode that remains central to Algeria's World Cup history.
