Luca Zidane (27), who is currently playing at FC Grenada in the Spanish second division, had represented the Blues in the youth categories. Since he had never joined the French A team, he had remained eligible to play with Algeria, the country of his paternal grandparents. He changed nationality in mid-September.
At the head of group G (Africa Zone) with 19 points, the Algerian selection is in a very favorable position for a qualification for the 2026 World Cup, before facing Somalia on October 9 and then Uganda five days later. The Fennecs are also qualified for the CAN 2025, which will start on December 21 in Morocco.
