Algeria Censors Morocco World Cup Success
Qualified for the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, Morocco receives international praise. Yet the neighboring television continues to ignore the successes of Mohamed Ouahbi’s players in its news broadcasts.
On Thursday, June 25, Algerian public television broadcast the tournament results, deliberately omitting the decisive qualification of the Lions of the Atlas. This silence amuses many internet users who joke about a "selective breakdown" of the broadcaster, while recalling the precedent from the 2022 World Cup. At the time, the only televised announcement of a Moroccan victory over Portugal had led to the dismissal of Chabane Lounakel, then director general of EPTV.

This series of performances allows the team to confirm its new world status and to calmly validate its ticket for the rest of the competition.
