The Algeria women's national team secured a 1-0 win over DR Congo on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at the Mustapha Tchaker Stadium in Blida, courtesy of a goal from Lina Boussaha at the half-hour mark.

This friendly fixture is part of a series of tests aimed at fine-tuning team chemistry and boosting confidence for both squads ahead of the upcoming Women's Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for July 5 to 26, 2025 in Morocco.

The decisive moment came in the 30th minute, when Al-Nassr midfielder Lina Boussaha capitalized on a long ball and beat the opposing keeper with a precise cross-shot.
