Faouzi Ghoulam, the left-back of AS Saint-Etienne, has made the decision to play for the Algerian national football team. Despite having previously played for the France Espoirs team, Ghoulam has chosen to represent Algeria at the international level. He communicated his decision to the president of the Algerian Football Federation, Mohamed Raouraoua.
The press release states: “Faouzi Ghoulam has decided to join the Algerian national football team and has sent his administrative file to the president of the Algerian Football Federation. The president of the FAF met him and his family in Saint-Etienne, and the player had talks with national coach Vahid Halilhodzic. The FAF begins the procedure for his qualification with FIFA today.”
This decision implies that Ghoulam should be eligible to play for Algeria in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) and other international competitions. Players often face tough decisions when choosing between national teams, and these choices can have a significant impact on their international football careers.
