India, July 3 -- Algeria's 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign came to an end after a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in the Round of 32. Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye found the net for the Swiss, whose composed performance sealed a place in the Round of 16 while ending Algeria's hopes of advancing further in the tournament.
