Algeria begin the defence of their African Cup of Nations title today as they chase down the record for the longest unbeaten run by a national team.

Algeria go into their Group E clash against Sierra Leone in Douala undefeated in their last 34 internationals and threatening the mark that Italy set last year .

The run does not include participation in the African Nations Championship, which is the competition for national teams made up solely of home-based players and where Algeria enters with a B team, as they did in winning last month's Arab Cup in Qatar. "We are the title holders and we are approaching the competition with ambition, because we want to make our people happy," said Belmadi.
