PRIDE: An Eyewitness to Algeria…From the Conspiracy of Gijón to the Battle of Porto Alegre

In this episode, inspired by a feature written by Ayman Youssef, we look back at one of football’s most emotional journeys: Algeria’s road from the heartbreak of 1982 World Cup to the pride of 2014. It’s the story of a team that turned injustice into identity, and showed the world that for Algeria the dream never dies. This is Legacy, GOAL’s podcast following the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
