Zidane Legacy Continues: Luca Zidane Joins Algeria's Squad

Luca Zidane, son of the renowned Zinedine Zidane, will be donning Algeria's colors in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Somalia and Uganda. The move follows his officially sanctioned switch of allegiance from France, influenced by his father's Algerian roots.

Luca, currently a goalkeeper for Granada in Spain's second division, embraces the opportunity to represent Algeria, a pathway opened to him through his grandfather's heritage. The call-up marks his first foray into international football at the senior level.

With Algeria leading Group G, the team is poised to secure its qualification for next year's World Cup finals in North America. Luca's famous father, Zinedine Zidane, previously led France to World Cup victory in 1998.
