Algeria’s national team arrived in Kampala on Friday evening ahead of the much-anticipated TotalEnergies CHAN 2024 tournament, set to kick off this Saturday in Tanzania.
Dressed in sleek matching tracksuits and wheeling neatly stacked luggage, the North Africans stepped out of Entebbe International Airport to a warm Ugandan welcome.
The team, visibly relaxed after their journey, paused to soak in the vibrant cultural welcome. While some players politely nodded along to the beats, a few players and officials couldn’t resist capturing the moment on their phones.
With formalities cleared swiftly, Algeria made their way to the team bus and were driven straight to Golden Tulip Canaan Kampala, their official residence for the tournament. Located in the leafy suburb of Kololo, the hotel offers a quiet, secure, and modern retreat perfect for pre-match preparation and recovery.
The Algerian delegation appeared composed and focused a reflection of the ambition that brought them here.
They begin their CHAN 2024 campaign on Monday 4th August 2025, in the second Group C match of the evening at Mandela National Stadium, kicking off at 8:00 PM local time, against tournament hosts Uganda.
