Aims to play at the World Cup.

Luca Zidane, son of Zinedine Zidane, did not find success at Real Madrid or with the French national team. After leaving the Santiago Bernabéu, he has made a significant decision.

Details: The 27-year-old goalkeeper, currently with Spain’s Granada, has changed his national allegiance. He previously played for France at youth levels but will now represent Algeria at the senior level.

The Algerian football federation is looking to strengthen its goalkeeping options, having used four different keepers in official matches over the last year. Zidane’s addition could provide valuable depth to the team.

Reminder: He qualifies to play for Algeria through his father, whose family comes from the Kabylie region. Algeria is expected to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, presenting an opportunity for Luca to play on a major stage.
