Foot: first call for Aouar with Algeria

The attacking midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais Houssem Aouar, who has a selection for the France team (in friendly), was summoned for the first time by Algeria after changing his sporting nationality, announced the Algerian federation (FAF) . Aouar, 24, is part of the group of players called up by Algeria for the match against Uganda on June 18 as part of the CAN-2023 qualifiers and a friendly meeting two days later against Tunisia, according to the list made public by the FAF late Tuesday.

In a video released by the FAF on March 16, Aouar announced his decision to now represent the Fennecs, saying that the idea "has been in his head for a very long time", and that he had finally decided after discussing with the boss of the FAF, Djahid Zefizef who had contacted him while he was on vacation in Algeria.

A week after the announcement of this decision, Aouar had been targeted by whistles and insults from supporters when he entered the game against Nantes. OL condemned these actions. In very marked decline for several months, Aouar, product of the Lyon formation, completes his contract with OL in June and should commit elsewhere. Aouar's only selection with the France team (against Ukraine) dates back to October 2020 but it was a friendly match, which allows the player to be able to change his sporting nationality.
