Hammer called up for country

Hammer Said Benrahma has been called up to the Algerian national team squad for their training camp, which will be held between May 31st and June 11th

Benrahma was first called up by Algeria in 2015 for friendly matches against Guinea and Senegal. He made his debut in the match versus Senegal on 13 October 2015, when he came on as a substitute for Baghdad Bounedjah after 70 minutes of the 1–0 victory. One month later, Benrahma was called into the squad for two 2018 World Cup second round qualifiers versus Tanzania, but did not make an appearance.

 Benrahma got another call-up for two 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and he won his second international cap with a start in a 1–0 win over Tunisia on 26 March 2019. He was named in Algeria’s preliminary squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, but was forced to withdraw due to injury.

In 2020 he made two more International appearances in October against Nigeria and Mexico.

Algeria faces Mauritania, Tunisia and Mali in June in international friendly fixtures between 3 and 11 June.
