Luca Zidane Gets First Algeria Call-Up for World Cup Qualifiers — A New Chapter for Zinedine Zidane’s Son

                             


Football fans across the globe are buzzing as Luca Zidane, son of legendary French midfielder Zinedine Zidane, has earned his first call-up to the Algeria national team for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper, who previously represented France at youth levels, officially switched allegiance after FIFA approved his nationality change. Algeria’s football federation confirmed his inclusion in the squad for the October fixtures against Somalia (Oct 9, 2025) and Uganda (Oct 14, 2025).

Luca Zidane, who currently plays for SD Eibar in Spain, decided to embrace his Algerian roots through his grandmother. While many expected him to follow in his father’s footsteps with France, his switch to Algeria signals a new chapter for both his career and the Desert Foxes’ ambitions.

Algeria has been on a mission to strengthen its squad ahead of the World Cup, and Luca Zidane’s inclusion is seen as a massive boost. His European experience and strong goalkeeping skills could prove vital as Algeria aims for qualification and a strong showing on the global stage.

The news has lit up social media, with fans celebrating Algeria’s coup in securing a Zidane in their ranks. Many see this as both a symbolic and practical victory, blending history, legacy, and footballing talent.
