Abderrahmane Rebbach: From Basque grass-roots to the Algerian National Team

Algerian footballer Abderrahmane Rebbach is set to join the national team for the first time, marking a significant milestone in a career that began on the amateur pitches of the Basque Country. Born in Blida in 1998, Rebbach moved to Spain at age 12, developing his skills in local clubs before signing with Deportivo Alavés in 2020. His impressive tally of 19 goals in 50 matches for the reserve team earned him a promotion to the senior squad in 2022. Following a successful loan spell at Granada in early 2025, the 28-year-old solidified his role at Alavés, celebrating 100 La Liga appearances in September 2026. This consistent performance led manager Ibrahim Hamdani to call him up for the upcoming qualifiers against Togo, fulfilling the player's long-standing dream of representing Algeria.
