Gouiri says yes to Algeria!

Although he wore the French team jersey in the youth selections, Amine Gouiri ultimately opted for Algeria.

It was in the air, it became official this Tuesday: Amine Gouiri decided to represent Algeria on the international scene at the expense of France.

“I will defend the Fennecs jersey body and soul”

“With pride, I announce my decision to join the Algerian selection. I will defend the Fennecs jersey body and soul to carry the colors of our country high and contribute to writing the next pages of its rich history”declared the Rennes striker on social networks.

As a reminder, Amine Gouiri wore the jersey of the French U16 team at the Espoirs. But as he was never called up to the A by Didier Deschamps, the former Lyonnais still had the possibility of choosing his other country, Algeria.
