The team was greeted by the Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal, who also embraced the team’s Bosnian coach Vahid Halilhodzic.

In the video, the squad boarded a bus painted green and white with each player's name daubed in red – the three colours of the national flag.

Algeria was the only Arab country represented at the World Cup.
