Egypt – Algeria: what time and on which channels to watch the match?
Egypt and Algeria are set to write a new chapter in their fierce rivalry this Friday, November 14, 2025. With the Arab Cup looming, both nations have opted to field their A’ squads—mostly made up of domestic players, bolstered by a handful of carefully selected dual nationals. This clash is far from a mere friendly: it has all the makings of a defining moment for two teams with big ambitions.
The Pharaohs are eager to avenge recent defeats, spurred on by a fervent Cairo crowd. On the other side, the Fennecs arrive with a clear objective: to assert their regional dominance and keep building momentum, powered by an increasingly competitive homegrown talent pool.
For Madjid Bougherra, this encounter is a true litmus test. The head coach has called up 27 players, a mix of regulars from the Algerian league and those plying their trade in the Gulf. Two key figures return: Islam Slimani, the national A team's top active scorer, and the unexpected comeback of Ryad Boudebouz, making his return after a seven-year absence.
Bougherra explained the choice of opponent:
"We chose Egypt because they are one of the favorites to win the Arab title. Their high level will make these two matches real tests to assess our true value."
However, preparations have not gone off without a hitch. Mohamed Benkhemassa, sidelined with a back injury, has been replaced by Victor Lekhal.
Friday, November 14, 2025 – Kick-off at 2:00 p.m.
Available channels:
This match will serve as the final dress rehearsal before the Arab Cup, where Algeria will defend their title in a tough Group D alongside Iraq, the winner of Bahrain–Djibouti, and the winner of Lebanon–Sudan. Egypt, meanwhile, is gearing up for an equally challenging Group C.
In this high-stakes showdown, the implications go beyond mere preparation: it's a statement both Arab giants want to make to the continent, just three weeks before the competition kicks off.
