Two golden stars above the crest commemorate AFCON victories in 1990 and 2019.
Perhaps the most legendary shirt in Algerian football history. This classic white jersey with green trim was worn when Algeria shocked the football world on their World Cup debut in Spain. The Desert Foxes defeated reigning champions West Germany 2-1 in one of the greatest upsets in tournament history, with goals from Rabah Madjer and Lakhdar Belloumi announcing Algeria's arrival on the global stage. Collectors treasure this shirt as a symbol of defiance and technical excellence.
Algeria's first African Cup of Nations triumph came on home soil, and the kit worn during this tournament holds special significance. The simple yet elegant white design with green accents witnessed Algeria claim continental glory, establishing a legacy that would inspire future generations.
2010 World Cup South Africa Kit.
After a 24-year absence from the World Cup, Algeria returned to the biggest stage wearing a distinctive white home shirt with intricate green and red detailing. This jersey represented a new era for Algerian football and featured geometric patterns across the shoulders that nodded to North African design traditions.
This remains one of Algeria's most celebrated tournament kits. The clean white design with bold green shoulders and Adidas' three stripes was worn during Algeria's best-ever World Cup performance. The team reached the Round of 16 for the first time, with the shirt becoming a symbol of a golden generation that captured hearts worldwide.
The most celebrated Algeria jersey in modern history. This immaculate white kit with green shoulder stripes was worn when Algeria claimed their second AFCON title in Egypt, ending a 29-year wait for continental glory. Riyad Mahrez captained the side wearing this shirt, scoring the decisive free-kick in the semi-final against Nigeria. The matching green away version with traditional patterns is equally revered by supporters.
Current Algeria shirts represent the pinnacle of kit design, blending heritage with innovation. Both home and away versions feature stunning Karakou embroidery – a traditional 19th-century Algerian decorative pattern characterized by intricate golden threading. The green away shirt arrives in two-tone shades with the lighter Karakou graphic spreading across the chest. Both designs feature "Algeria" inscribed in Arabic on the back collar, symbolising unity for Algerians worldwide.
Algeria has partnered with several manufacturers throughout their history, each bringing distinctive approaches to the iconic green and white colours:
Adidas - The current supplier and Algeria's most successful partnership. Adidas has outfitted the Desert Foxes for their greatest achievements, including the 2014 World Cup run and 2019 AFCON triumph. Their kits incorporate cutting-edge technology:
Climalite and AEROREADY moisture management systems
Breathable mesh panels for optimal ventilation
Ergonomic cuts that adapt to athletic movement
Recycled materials through
Prime Blue technology
Cultural elements like Karakou patterns and fennec fox imagery seamlessly integrated into performance fabrics
Le Coq Sportif - The French manufacturer provided the legendary 1982 World Cup kit that became iconic after the shock victory over West Germany. Their designs emphasised clean lines and classic aesthetics.
Puma - Supplied Algeria during the early 2000s and 2010 World Cup, featuring streamlined designs with the iconic jumping cat logo and performance-focused construction.
Modern Algeria shirts transition from traditional cotton to advanced synthetic blends that wick sweat, regulate temperature, and maintain shape through intense 90-minute matches. The evolution from heavy, basic jerseys to today's featherweight, engineered fabrics represents decades of innovation while maintaining the soul of Algerian football.
The Two Stars Story - Above the FAF crest sit two golden stars, but here's what many don't know: FIFA regulations technically only allow World Cup victories to be commemorated with stars. Algeria proudly displays their AFCON triumphs (1990, 2019) as stars anyway, asserting their continental achievements with equal pride. This subtle rebellion reflects the independent spirit of Algerian football.
The Fennec Fox Connection - Recent kits feature a fennec fox silhouette on the upper back. This small desert fox, native to North Africa, inspired the team's nickname "Les Fennecs." The animal symbolizes agility, adaptation, and resilience – qualities that define Algerian footballers. The graphic appears subtly, visible only up close, like an insider's tribute.
Cultural Embroidery Heritage - The Karakou patterns on modern shirts aren't random designs. They're authentic reproductions of traditional Algerian embroidery worn by Algerian women in the 19th century, particularly in the capital region. Each swirl and curve holds cultural significance, transforming the jersey into wearable heritage.
The 1982 Protest - While celebrated now, the 1982 World Cup kit became symbolic of injustice. After beating West Germany and Chile, Algeria was eliminated due to the infamous "Disgrace of Gijón" – a match between Germany and Austria that both teams manipulated to eliminate Algeria. The shirt became a rallying symbol for fair play reforms in football.
Manufacturer Musical Chairs - Algeria has worked with more kit manufacturers than most nations: Adidas (multiple eras), Le Coq Sportif, Puma, and others. This variety means collectors can find wildly different design philosophies across decades, making Algeria shirts particularly diverse and interesting to collect.
The green and white shirt has been graced by some of Africa's finest footballers, players who've left indelible marks on the global game.
Rabah Madjer
Widely regarded as Algeria's greatest player, Madjer achieved legendary status with FC Porto. His iconic back-heel goal in the 1987 European Cup final against Bayern Munich remains one of football's most celebrated moments. That same year, he won African Footballer of the Year. For Algeria, he scored 28 goals in 87 appearances and captained the side to their first AFCON title in 1990. His Champions League triumph made him only the second African to win Europe's premier trophy, paving the way for future generations.
Lakhdar Belloumi
A technical genius who dominated African football in the 1980s. Belloumi won African Footballer of the Year in 1981 and was renowned for his vision, dribbling, and creative flair. He represented Algeria 147 times, scoring 34 goals, and was instrumental in the famous 1982 World Cup victory over Germany, scoring one of the goals. Despite interest from Juventus and other European giants, regulations prevented him leaving Algeria until age 27, meaning he spent most of his career as a superstar in the Algerian league. He also topped the scoring charts at the 1980 AFCON.
Riyad Mahrez
Riyad Mahrez represents modern Algerian excellence. The 2016 African Footballer of the Year captained Algeria to AFCON glory in 2019, scoring the match-winning free-kick against Nigeria in the semi-final. His club success includes winning the Premier League with Leicester City in their miraculous 2015-16 campaign (the first Algerian to win England's top flight), multiple titles with Manchester City, and becoming the second Algerian to win the Champions League in 2023. With over 100 caps, he's transformed from a Ligue 2 winger into one of Africa's most decorated players. His "La spéciale" signature move – faking a shot before flicking the ball behind his standing foot – has become iconic.
Islam Slimani
Algeria's prolific striker who became the nation's most expensive player when Leicester City signed him. A powerful, athletic forward who's terrorized defenses across Europe, Slimani has been crucial to Algeria's qualifying campaigns and tournament performances. His aerial prowess and hold-up play make him the perfect foil for creative players like Mahrez.
Sofiane Feghouli
A versatile midfielder who spent six successful years with Valencia in La Liga, making 243 appearances and scoring 42 goals. Feghouli's work rate, technical quality, and ability to play across multiple positions made him invaluable to Algeria's midfield for over a decade.
Yacine Brahimi
The first Algerian to score a hat-trick in the Champions League, Brahimi's dribbling and creativity lit up European football during his time with Porto. His close control and ability to beat defenders in tight spaces embodied the technical sophistication of modern Algerian football.
The FLN team era produced footballers who merged sport with the independence movement. Players who risked everything to represent an Algeria fighting for recognition. Rachid Mekhloufi remains a legend for leaving French football at his peak to join the FLN team, a decision that symbolized sacrifice for national identity.The "Wunderteam" era gave way to Algeria's own golden generations, each building on the legacy of those who came before, wearing the green and white with distinction.
