The Algerian Football Federation is quietly continuing its scouting work for new dual-nationality profiles. After the recent integration of Luca Zidane into the Algerian national team setup, attention is now turning to his younger brother, Elyaz Zidane, a 20-year-old defender.

The son of Zinedine Zidane is catching the eye of Algeria’s technical staff, who see him as a potential asset to strengthen a defensive line set for changes in the coming years. His profile is considered promising as part of a gradual squad renewal.

However, for now, there has been no concrete progress. The young player, who has already featured for several French youth teams, has yet to begin the necessary steps to switch his footballing nationality—a factor that is significantly slowing down the process.
