Ceramicas Ahmed Kendouci Receives Algeria National Team Call-up

Al Ahly loanee and Ceramica Cleopatra midfielder Ahmed Kendouci has been called up by the Algerian National team for their upcoming AFCON qualifiers. Kendouci spent last season on loan from Al Ahly with Ceramica Cleopatra, where he made 34 appearances with the Egyptian League Cup winners scoring 11 goals and assisting nine. His impressive performances led to him being called up by Algerias head coach Vladimir Petkovic for the September international break. The 25-year-old is also set to replace OGC Nice midfielder Hicham Boudaoui, who sustained an injury in the third round of Ligue 1 against Angers. ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ???? ???? ??????? ?????? ????? ???? #LesVerts | #123vivalAlgerie pic.twitter.com/CeKK1zsX1x equipe dAlgerie de football (@LesVerts) September 3, 2024 Its worth noting that Kendouci made his debut for Algeria back in January 2023.
