Qualification history
Algeria booked their place at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ after a fiercely contested final qualifying round that culminated in a showdown with long-time rivals Egypt. The third and final phase finished with the two teams level on points and goal difference at the top of Group C, necessitating a play-off on 18 November 2009 in Omdurman, Sudan. Following a tense build-up to the encounter, Algeria eventually prevailed 1-0 thanks to an Anthar Yahia strike, heralding their return to the world stage after a 24-year absence. Algeria’s first bid to reach the showpiece tournament came ahead of the 1970 edition, although it would not be until 1982 that the Desert Foxes made it through to the finals. The side repeated the feat at the next edition in 1986, crushing fellow north Africans Tunisia 7-1 over two matches in the final qualifying round.    

FIFA World Cup finals history
Algeria have played in a total of three FIFA World Cup finals. They got off to the best possible start at the 1982 edition in Spain, beating West Germany 2-1 in their opening game and in the process becoming the first African team to win a match in the competition. Despite a 3-2 victory over Chile in their final group game, an earlier 2-0 loss to Austria meant that while level on points with the latter, they were eliminated on goal difference. Mexico 1986 was less memorable for the north African side. Drawn in Group D with Brazil, Spain and Northern Ireland, two defeats and a draw left them bottom of the table and on the first flight home. Nor were things much better at South Africa 2010. Pitted against England, USA and Slovenia, they lost twice and drew their other fixture, departing the competition without a goal to their name.

The current crop
The qualifying phase of the 2012 CAF Africa Nations Cup was hugely disappointing for the Desert Foxes. They finished qualifying in third place and now must look ahead to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and African Cup of Nations 2013 under the new leadership of Bosnian coach Vahid Halilhodzic.

The key players
Among those aiming to make their mark in the preliminaries will be Karim Ziani, Madjid Bougherra, Anthar Yahia, Rafik Saifi and Ryad Boudebouz.

Coach: Vahid Halilhodzic
Best performances in a FIFA competition: FIFA World Cup Spain 1982, Mexico 1986, South Africa 2010 (Group stages)

Qualification history
Rwanda’s qualifying campaign for the 1998 FIFA World Cup France™ was the country’s first bid to reach world football’s showpiece event. The Wasps are yet to make it beyond the group phase of qualifying, and their South Africa 2010 campaign ended on a particularly disappointing note as they failed to record a single victory in their final preliminary group. The players and fans will no doubt be hoping for a marked improvement this time around. 

The current crop
With the exception of the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations, Rwanda have never appeared at an international tournament. But with a talented crop of youngsters at their disposal – many of whom played at the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup 2011 Mexico – the future certainly looks promising for the country’s national team. 

The key players
Very few Rwandan players are based overseas, so the bulk of the national team squad is drawn from major domestic club sides APR FC and Rayon Sports. Powerful forward Olivier Karekezi is one of the few players to have found success abroad, and his considerable experience of Scandinavian football should make him a key figure in the Rwandan side for years to come.

Coach: Milutin Sredojevic
Best performance in a FIFA competition: None
