Algeria FA
With the signing of Algeria FA, Puma's African roster swells to 12 top-ranked teams. Les Fennecs (The Desert Foxes), now coached by Rabah Saadane, was formed in 1958 and has made two World Cup appearances in 1982 and 1986, and 13 trips to CAN, which they hosted and won in 1990. In October 2008, Les Fennecs catapulted to the top of their group, finishing first to qualify for CAN 2010.
"The association with Algeria underpins PUMA's commitment to African Football," said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman and CEO, Puma AG.
"Les Fennecs have an impressive history on the pitch and are again poised to be a top contender at CAN 2010. We're thrilled to welcome them to the Puma family."
