The Algerian Rugby Federation (FAR) ; (Arabic: الفدرالية الجزائرية للرغبي) is the governing body for rugby union in Algeria. Algeria became a full member of Rugby Africa in December 2016.[1] The federation is responsible for the Algerian national team and the "Algerian Rugby Championship".[2] It is in charge of promoting the sport in Algeria, organizes international matches for the national team, and is involved in educating and training players and officials. Algeria has never participated in the Rugby World Cup qualifiers. Their best result to date was a 50-0 win against Egypt and Libya,[citation needed] both in a Cairo international tournament in 2010.
FAR was accepted as an affiliate member of World Rugby in 2019 and became a full member in 2021.[3][4]
