SHOCKING DEPARTURE: Mahrez Hangs Up International Boots Following Disastrous Loss to Switzerland!

Published

on

Riyad Mahrez has officially ended his storied international career following Algeria’s 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32. At 35 years old, the Desert Warriors’ talisman confirmed in Vancouver that the match marked his final appearance for his country, concluding over ten years of dedicated service.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Reflecting on the loss, Mahrez expressed disappointment over the defensive lapses that allowed Switzerland to score, despite his belief that the team could have secured a win. “There are always positives to take away from matches: we did manage to get out of the group stage, but we conceded too many goals to aspire to more,” Mahrez noted. “This was my last match with Algeria.”

An Illustrious Legacy

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, highlighting an incredible career output of 85 goal involvements across 119 international caps. Mahrez leaves behind a legendary status, having been the primary force behind Algeria’s triumphant 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign, which included his iconic stoppage-time free-kick against Nigeria in the semi-finals.

Final World Cup Appearance

Algeria’s tournament came to an end in the Round of 32 after first-half and early second-half goals from Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye. Mahrez, who was vital in getting the team out of the group stage—notably scoring two goals in a 3-3 draw against Austria—was substituted in the 71st minute, marking the end of his illustrious journey in the national colors.

Three senior civil servants, who were transferred from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) to the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), have reported to investigators that they were assigned no responsibilities at the office. Although the Federal Government maintains it never established the PFIPC nor appointed Adeniyi Adeyemi as its Director-General, Adeyemi faces an eight-count charge of forgery and impersonation for allegedly claiming those roles.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to police and court records:

  • Adeyemi allegedly sent a request to the Accountant-General on April 4, 2025, for the deployment of accounting and auditing staff.

  • On August 28, 2025, the OAGF posted three officials—Ojo Victor, Omeh Amarachukwu, and Wakili Saidu—to the agency.

  • Upon reporting for duty on September 8, 2025, the three officers were provided an open office space but were never given formal documentation, job descriptions, or work assignments.

  • The officials stated they had never heard of the PFIPC prior to their deployment.

  • Due to the total lack of work, the officers reported to the office only intermittently, ranging from once a week to three times a week, merely to make an appearance.

While investigators allege that Adeyemi forged government letterheads and appointment documents to secure the staff deployment, Adeyemi has denied these allegations, claiming he is being targeted by the Presidency.
