Algeria’s elimination in the quarterfinals of the 2025 AFCON left a mark, both on the sporting front and on a human level. Beaten by Nigeria (2-0), the Fennecs saw their campaign come to an end despite dominating the group stage. In this context, certain individual situations raise questions, particularly that of Ilan Kebbal, who was barely featured during the tournament.
