Last week, the Algerian press was abuzz following the news that Luca Zidane had switched his sporting nationality. Having previously represented France at youth level, the Granada goalkeeper is now eligible to play for Algeria. In fact, he’s included in Vladimir Petkovic’s squad for the October international break.

Since then, numerous rumors have circulated about Zinédine Zidane and his family being present in Oran for what could be Luca’s debut with the Fennecs. However, this Thursday, La Gazette du Fennec investigated by reaching out to well-informed sources at the Algerian Football Federation (FAF). The outlet confirms that a visit from Zizou to Algeria to support his son is not on the agenda for now.
