The Algeria national team has landed in the United States ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The Air Algérie Airbus A330 carrying the Fennecs touched down at Lawrence Regional Airport in Kansas, where a large crowd of Algerian supporters had gathered to welcome them.

As soon as the delegation arrived, countless fans dressed in the national colors lined the airport perimeter to greet the players and coaching staff. Songs, flags, and cheers accompanied the Greens’ first steps on American soil, a testament to the Algerian diaspora’s excitement as the tournament approaches.

While Kansas City, in neighboring Missouri, serves as a key landmark for the squad, their training camp is set up in Lawrence, a city in Kansas. This will be the base where the Algerian coach and his men prepare for the upcoming challenges.

This arrival marks a significant milestone in the Fennecs’ preparations as they aim to make a strong impression at the 2026 World Cup. The warm welcome already highlights the immense support the team enjoys from its fans, far beyond Algeria’s borders.

The coming days will be dedicated to training sessions, acclimatization, and final adjustments before Algeria’s campaign kicks off at the tournament.
