Algeria World Cup Captain Poster

Goal: Create a dramatic vertical football World Cup 2026 poster for Riyad Mahrez, Algeria captain, in a premium sports trading-card/editorial style.

Canvas: Tall vertical poster, 2:3 ratio, dark emerald green, white, and metallic gold palette, high contrast stadium lighting, gritty paper texture, diagonal geometric panels and thin gold accent lines.

Main composition: Use a large close-up portrait of the player as the background, cropped from hair to upper chest and positioned slightly right of center, with the face intentionally covered by a large smooth rectangular anonymizing block in warm gray-brown. Place a full-body footballer in the foreground slightly left of center, standing on green pitch grass with one foot near a soccer ball, also with the face covered by a smaller warm gray-brown rectangular anonymizing block. The player wears Algeria's white home kit with green trim, number 7, a black captain armband with a white C, white socks, and light boots. Add a waving Algerian flag behind him on the left and a packed stadium with flags and lights in the lower background.

Top-left branding: Show a white stacked FIFA World Cup 2026 mark with the trophy inside the number style, and the text exactly: "FIFA", "WORLD CUP", "2026", "UNITED STATES", "CANADA", "MEXICO".

Top-right identity area: Add the Algeria football crest with two gold stars above it. Beside or below it, set the player identity in stacked typography: "RIYAD" in green, "MAHREZ" in gold, "ALGERIA" in green, "CAPTAIN" in gold, and a large green "7". Add a gold handwritten signature beneath.

Left statistic column: Include exactly 6 icon-and-label facts in a small vertical column near the lower-left side: 1) shirt icon, "POSITION" / "RIGHT WINGER"; 2) club badge icon, "CLUB" / "AL AHLI"; 3) calendar icon, "DATE OF BIRTH" / "21.02.1991"; 4) person icon, "NATIONALITY" / "ALGERIAN"; 5) trophy icon, "CAPS" / "95+"; 6) soccer ball icon, "GOALS" / "31+".

Bottom title zone: Place a huge condensed white title "ALGERIA" across the lower-right half. Under it add two gold stars and a gold script subtitle Les Fennecs. Add small gold host text: "UNITED STATES | CANADA | MEXICO". In the bottom-left corner add a small gold fox/fennec emblem with the slogan "ONE NATION" above "ONE DREAM".

Additional visual elements: Add a stylized modern stadium or monument structure on the far right edge, partially behind the title. Include a realistic soccer ball at the player's feet with Algerian crest accents. Use cinematic lighting, realistic fabric texture, sharp sports photography detail, layered shadows, and premium poster finishing.

Constraints: Keep all visible text in English except the Arabic inside the Algeria crest if rendered. Use exactly two face-covering anonymizing rectangles, one large on the background portrait and one small on the foreground player. Do not add extra players, extra stat items, watermarks, or unrelated logos.
