While Zinedine Zidane should, except disaster, take the reins of the French team after the 2026 World Cup, one of his footballers could compete in this World Cup organized in Canada, the United States and Mexico (fully disputed in the US from the quarter-finals). Luca Zidane, 27, has changed sports nationality with FIFA. The former French U20 is now selectable by Algeria!
Approaching CAN in Morocco (December 21, 2025-18 January 2026) and the North American World Cup, the Algerian federation surveyed several players of Algerian origin and, among them, Luca Zidane did not hesitate a second before accepting the offer to represent the country of his paternal family.
Trained at Real Madrid (like his three brothers), Luca Zidane failed to win in Liga in 2021-2022, with Rayo Vallecano, and evolves in the Spanish second division, now in Granada. The native of Marseille will discover the greens led by Vladimir Petkovic and may not be figuration. Algerian leaders are in the vagueness in this position and want to compete.
Luca Zidane holder at the World Cup?
Questioned by Foot transfer windowthe Arobase Dzair account (on social networks) sees Luca Zidane as an interesting alternative: “Beyond the name and the” good marketing “with the resonant name of Zidane,” does he deserve to be directly at the cages? Faced with the desert with regard to this position, that would not surprise me that it is already selected. With the guards who do not meet in selection, it is not impossible and it is especially not difficult to take a place as a holder as a guardian of the Algerian selection. Personally, I think the federation aims to be the holder ”.
With the withdrawal of Alexandre Oukidja, the 2019 African champions porter now 37 years old (and seriously injured in a knee), his successor Anthony Mandrea did not convince. Worse, while remaining in Caen, in National, he was dismissed by the Fennecs coach. Alexis Guendouz was promoted as number 1. Trained at AS Saint-Etienne, he plays in the Algerian championship, at MC Algiers, after a season in Iran, in Persepolis. While waiting to be competed by a certain Zidane?
