What changed
According to the article published by **Ennahar** on October 31, 2026, the Algerian under-17 national team completed its final preparatory training camp at the regional technical center in Tlemcen. Under head coach Amin Ghemouz, the 23-player squad played three training matches and won all of them: 4–1 against Jeunesse Sportive d'Aïn Témouchent (U20), 11–0 against Union Sportive de Tlemcen (senior team), and 4–3 against Widad de Tlemcen (U20).
Why it matters
This camp was the final opportunity for the technical staff to evaluate physical condition, individual and collective qualities, as well as team cohesion before finalizing the squad for the U17 World Cup final tournament, scheduled from November 19 to December 13, 2026, in Qatar. Algeria was placed in Group 10 alongside the United States, Chile, and Montenegro. The three victories, notably the wide 11–0 win, are presented by the source as an indicator of the team's offensive readiness, even though the level of the opponents (youth teams or local senior side) does not allow for direct extrapolation of competitiveness against qualified nations.
What to watch
The Ennahar publication does not specify the composition of the final roster or any tactical adjustments after this camp. The next signals to watch will be the official announcement of the Algerian delegation for the World Cup, any international friendly matches prior to the tournament, and the team's actual performance against world-class opponents during the group stage. As this relies on a single source, no independent confirmation of these results or the condition of the players is available at this stage.
