International career edit

In December 2012, Rial was included by Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodžić in an initial list of 40 players for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.[1] A week later, Halilhodžić narrowed the list down to 24 players, with Rial's name still on the list.[2]

On January 17, 2013, Rial made his unofficial debut for Algeria as a starter in a friendly match against South African club Platinum Stars, which Algeria won 4-1.[3]
