Afcon 2019: We are ready to challenge Nigeria – Algeria’s Mehdi Abeid

Algeria midfielder Mehdi Abeid is convinced his side is ready to challenge Nigeria when they meet in the semi-final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.

The Desert Foxes saw off two-time African champions Cote d’Ivoire in the quarter-final of the biennial tournament to book a date with the Super Eagles.

Although the French-born Algerian admitted the wealth of talent in Gernot Rohr’s squad make them a superb team, he is confident the Desert Foxes can put smiles on the faces of their fans at the Cairo International Stadium.
