"Dust hangs in the desert air like smoke, swirling above a football pitch carved from hardened earth.
It's late afternoon, and despite the heat not easing, a group of young men and teenage boys have gathered to play their weekly football match.
Each time one of the players runs to get the ball, an orange cloud rises into the air.
On this makeshift football pitch at the Smara refugee camp in southwestern Algeria, love for the beautiful game runs deep.
For the locals watching on, conversation is also tied to one subject: the World Cup taking place thousands of miles away.
"I think Algeria's team is going to do well," Hafdala Mohamed, one of those in attendance, tells Middle East Eye.
For Mohamed, like many in Algeria's sprawling Sahrawi refugee camps, football is more than entertainment. It's one of the few constants in a life shaped by exile.
"We play at least once every week," his friend Khalil says, smiling as the teams begin arguing over sides.
Across the camps, football shapes daily life. Children play in dusty streets as families gather around bulky televisions to watch major tournaments.
Now, as the World Cup unfolds in the US, Canada and Mexico, attention is turning almost entirely towards one team: Algeria."

[ Since their formation in 2006, Imarhan - guitarist and vocalist Iyad Moussa Ben Abderahmane (Sadam), bassist Tahar Khaldi, guitarists Hicham Bouhasse and Abdelkader Ourzig, and percussionist Haiballah Akhamouk - have continually reshaped perceptions of Tuareg music. Building on the foundations of assouf (the desert blues sound made globally known by Tinariwen and Mdou Moctar), the group fuse ancient poetry and rhythm with funk, psychedelia, and pan-African groove to create something both timeless and urgently modern. ]
