Sofiane Khedairïa (25 years old, ES Setif, Goalkeeper):

Like teammate El Hedi Belameiri, Sofiane Khedairia was born and raised in France. Khedairia found it virtually impossible climbing the French football hierarchy, toiling in the third division. The former Le Mans man, therefore, decided to ply his trade in Algeria. The move has proved successful as Khedairia is on the fringe of a call-up with the national team after racking up four clean sheets in the Champions League – a tournament high.
