Algeria's Rising Star: No Doubt About Morocco's AFCON Organization

Impressive Organization and Top-Notch Facilities

Issa Mandi, the Algeria defender for Lille, praised the organization of AFCON 2025 in Morocco, noting the infrastructure and competition conditions are excellent.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's game versus Burkina Faso in the second group stage, he said that everything here is very well organized, the stadiums are superb, and the pitch quality is outstanding.

Leadership and Respect for Mahrez

He added that playing in favorable climatic conditions benefits everyone, not just Arab nations.

He also hailed Riyad Mahrez, noting that he is a great player, our leader, and the one who will carry the team on his shoulders. He has started this edition well and works hard to reach the level he showed against Sudan.

Algeria's Black-and-Gold heroes began their campaign with a 3-0 victory over Sudan, with Mahrez scoring twice.

The defender also noted that the results so far show fair play and smooth logistics that boost performance.

This is good news for fans who travel, sponsors who expect value, and for a team eager to prove themselves on home soil.
