The truce smiled differently on the ten Stade Rennais internationals who joined their selection. For Amine Gouiri and Algeria, the dynamic was good: in 85 minutes played in total, during the two qualifying matches for the African Cup of Nations against Togo (5-1 then 0-1 victories), the Red and Black scored a goal and obtained a penalty, and the Fennecs validated their ticket for the 2025 edition.
Summoned with the French hopeful team, Arnaud Kalimuendo also found the net, against Austria. A goal which did not avoid the defeat of the Bleuets (1-2), but they still confirmed their qualification for Euro 2025.
