Zidane Legacy Continues: Goalkeeper Luca Zidane Joins Algeria Squad for 2025 AFCON in Morocco
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), scheduled to kick off on December 21 in host nation Morocco, will feature a surprising and high-profile addition to the Algerian national team: Goalkeeper Luca Zidane.
Luca Zidane, the talented son of French football legend and former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane (Zizou), has been officially included in the final Algeria squad for the prestigious continental tournament. This call-up marks a significant step in the young goalkeeper's international career and adds an intriguing narrative to the competition.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper, who currently plays his club football in the European leagues, qualifies to represent the Desert Foxes through his paternal lineage.
While his father, the iconic Zinedine Zidane, achieved legendary status playing for the France national team, Luca has opted to embrace his family's Algerian heritage on the international stage.
Algeria, one of the perennial favorites and a former AFCON champion, will rely on a strong team performance to compete for the title against Africa's elite.
The inclusion of Luca Zidane is seen as a strategic move to bolster the goalkeeping options ahead of the challenging tournament in Morocco. Football fans are eagerly anticipating the impact the goalkeeper will have as he strives to establish his own legacy, separate from his famous father, in the competitive environment of African football.
