Youssef Attal, Algeria defender, said he would do his best to help the Algerian people get the African Nations Cup, which Egypt will host from June 21 to July 19.

"The morale is high and we feel that all the players want to make the addition, and God willing we will give all our energy to honor the Greens during the next finals," Youssef Attal told Algeria's An-Nahar newspaper.

"To win the African Nations Cup is the goal of everyone, and this is something that I'm honored to have," he added. "God willing, we offer the best as a group and go far in Alcan."

The Algerian Football Federation announced that the Algerian team will arrive in Cairo on June 18 on a private plane of Algerian Airways, to participate in the African Nations Cup.
