World Cup 2026 (Q): final standings of group G topped by Algeria

The Algerian national team wrapped up its 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in spectacular fashion. By defeating Uganda (2-1) on the final matchday, Vladimir Petkovic's men cemented their first-place finish in group G with a tally of 25 points. Eight wins, one draw, and just a single defeat—an almost flawless run that showcases the rise of a side now firmly focused on the finals.

Behind the Desert Foxes, the gap is considerable. Uganda and Mozambique finished level on points in second and third place with 18 each, but both are out of the race for the World Cup. Guinea takes fourth with 15 points, while Botswana (10 points) and Somalia (1 point) round out the group, which was thoroughly dominated by Algeria.

Thus, the Fennecs are the only nation in group G to secure a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup, solidifying their status as undisputed favorites and underlining their ambition to shine on the global stage in a few months’ time.
