AEAlgeria lost 2-0 to Switzerland in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, eliminating them from the tournament. This result ended Algeria's hopes of becoming the second Arab nation to advance to the last 16, following Morocco's earlier progression. Algeria had advanced as one of the best eight third-placed teams from the group phase and faced Switzerland, who secured their first knockout-stage victory in 88 years. Despite opportunities, including a missed early chance by Fares Chaibi and a late cross from Riyad Mahrez, Algeria struggled defensively and failed to convert chances. Switzerland capitalized on Algerian errors, with goals from Bree Embolo and Dan Ndoye sealing the win.
