In November 1977, aged just 17 years old, Benameur was called up to the Algerian National Team by Rachid Mekhloufi for a 1978 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Zambia.[2] However, he did not participate in the game as Algeria lost 2–0.
In 1978, Benameur was a member of the Algerian Under-20 team that won the 1979 African Youth Championship. A year later, he was a member of the Algerian Under-20 team at the 1979 FIFA World Youth Championship.[3] He started all 4 of Algeria's games at the tournament before Algeria lost against Argentina in the second round.
