After playing with the French youth teams, Luca Zidane, son of the legend Zinédine Zidane, has just changed his sporting nationality. From now on, he will play in the colors of the Fennecs of Algeria.

It should be noted that Luca Zidane has developed his entire career in Spain, going through the youth teams of Real Madrid (2014-2019), Racing de Santander, Rayo Vallecano, Eibar and, since July 2024, Granada.

In the French team, he has gone through all the French youth teams. He has 3 call-ups with the U-16 team, 14 with the U-17, 6 with the U-18, 6 with the U-19, and 1 with the U-20 in 2018.

As Didier Deschamps never contacted him to integrate him into the rotation of goalkeepers of the French national team, Luca Zidane decided, logically, to try his luck with his father's country of origin.

Will Vladimir Petkovic call him up for the matches against Somalia (October 9) and Uganda (October 14)?
