Algeria Clinches Last-16 Berth with 1-0 Win in AFCON 2025
Algeria sealed their spot in the Round of 16 on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso, advancing from the group stage of AFCON 2025 in Morocco.
Family in the Stands: Zidane's Son and Future Hopes
The victory came under the watchful eye of their father, Zinedine Zidane, who attended the stands to support his son and the Desert Warriors.
In the mixed zone after the match, Luka Zidane spoke about his feelings toward family support and the possibility that his younger brother Elias Zidane, who plays for Real Betis, could represent Algeria in the future.
“My family stands behind us 100 percent, just like all Algerians. They push us forward. Their presence here is crucial, and we are giving our best to make them proud.”
“We will see what happens. I think now is not the right time to talk about this... we will see.”
Punchline 1: If football is life, the Zidane family clearly negotiated a lifetime contract with suspense and headlines.
Punchline 2: And if Elias ever joins Algeria, the trophy cabinet will need a bigger house to hold all the bragging rights.
