Algeria enjoyed a historic 2014 FIFA World Cup campaign in Brazil under Vahid Halilhodžić, reaching the knockout stages for the first time in the national team's history.
Having qualified for the tournament through an African play-off victory against Burkina Faso, Algeria entered the competition with a squad featuring established players including Sofiane Feghouli, Islam Slimani, Rafik Halliche, Madjid Bougherra and goalkeeper Raïs M'Bolhi.
The team also featured emerging talents Riyad Mahrez, Yacine Brahimi, Nabil Bentaleb and Faouzi Ghoulam, providing a combination of experience and attacking creativity.
Algeria began their campaign against Belgium in Belo Horizonte, taking the lead through a first-half penalty from Feghouli. However, Belgium recovered with two second-half goals to secure a 2–1 victory, leaving Algeria needing a positive result in their next fixture.
Their second group match against South Korea produced one of the most memorable performances in Algerian football history. Goals from Slimani, Halliche, Abdelmoumene Djabou and Brahimi secured a 4–2 victory, making Algeria the first African nation to score four goals in a single World Cup match.
A 1–1 draw against Russia followed, with Slimani scoring a second-half equaliser to secure Algeria's progression to the Round of 16. The result represented a historic achievement, as Algeria advanced beyond the World Cup group stage for the first time.
In the knockout round, Algeria faced eventual champions Germany in Porto Alegre. Halilhodžić's side produced a disciplined and competitive performance, creating several opportunities while goalkeeper M'Bolhi made a series of important saves.
The match remained goalless after 90 minutes before Germany scored twice during extra time. Djabou pulled a goal back in the closing moments, but Germany secured a 2–1 victory to progress to the quarter-finals. Despite their elimination, Algeria's performances earned considerable recognition and represented an important milestone for African football.
Produced by PUMA, the Algeria 2014–15 home shirt featured a predominantly white colourway with contrasting pale-green detailing around the crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. The design incorporated the Algerian Football Federation crest, national flag emblem and PUMA branding, creating a clean interpretation of the country's traditional international colours.
Worn by players including Feghouli, Slimani, Brahimi and Bentaleb during Algeria's historic World Cup campaign, the shirt became associated with the nation's first appearance in the knockout stages. Its understated design and connection with one of Algeria's most significant international achievements make it a memorable example of the country's PUMA era.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.

Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.
