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.[2] A week later, Halilhodžić narrowed the list down to 24 players, with Rial's name still on the list.[3]
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.[4]
