Hichem Abderrebi, 18, has played 7 Ligue 2 matches with Montpellier this season. The midfielder was called up by the France U19 team.

But Algeria U20 had also recently called him up. This duality creates an imbroglio over the rosters of the two national teams.

The player must now make a choice. The situation is divisive and raises the question of dual nationality in African football.
